Weeping Fig

Ficus benjamina

• Other common names include Benjamin Fig, Benjamin tree
• An excellent shade tree or specimen tree
• Grow indoors or out
• Can grow to be a large tree

The Weeping Fig has a dense, rounded canopy and gracefully drooping branches so that it can provide a good amount of shade cover! From India and Malaysia, they are also known by their botanical name, Ficus benjamina, and these large trees can tolerate severe pruning, so we also like to use mature trees as a privacy hedge to block out unwanted views! These evergreen trees have a generous amount of thick and shiny green leaves that bring the right amount of greenery to any location! Younger trees are just as attractive and perfect for an entranceway or used as a patio tree!

Ficus benjamina have a high drought tolerance, so once established, they will require little to moderate water. Weeping Fig has a fast growth rate and will grow in full sun or partial shade. These are also a favorite houseplant, so if you plan to grow one indoors, you will be glad to know that they have a high tolerance for a variety of growing conditions. As a bonus, the Benjamin Fig requires very little maintenance!
