Ficus binnendijkii ‘Amstel King’

Description

Glossy green lanceolate leaves of Ficus binnendijkii ‘Amstel King’ gently fall from its slender grey-brown branches. Those arching branches produce a wide yet delicate canopy. With a similar growth habit to that of the slightly fussy ‘Weeping Fig’, Ficus benjamina, yet a much hardier species.
