About the Green Island Ficus
The Green Island Ficus was recognized by FNGLA (Florida Nurserymen and Growers Association) as Plant of the Year on 2000. So, you’ll understand why we highly recommend this plant. Its leaves have a heavy-texture and are a little longer than they are wide (3 to 4 inches in either dimension). Its shape can also be described as orbicular with only an obscure tip.
This plant spreads out sideways, and it is easy to train as a ground hugging shrub than can cling closely to rocks, across beds or even trailing down a wall. The Green Island Ficus makes a wonderful addition to your landscape.
