Specimen Ficus microcarpa Tree

Rogours is the supplier of Specimen Ficus microcarpa Trees. We offer them directly from the nursery. As a evergreen large tree of the Ficus genus in the Moraceae family, it has a large size and a magnificent appearance, making it one of the best choices for creating spatial landscaping. With a full crown shape, well-developed root system, and a high survival rate for full-tree transplantation, its visual tension and ecological resilience make it the ideal choice for shaping the spatial framework in large-scale municipal projects, high-end real estate landscapes, and cultural and tourism projects.

Growth rate

The growth trajectory is a gradual process. During the juvenile stage, it grows steadily at a rate of 20-40 centimeters per year. After entering the developmental stage, the annual growth rate accelerates to 30-50 centimeters, especially during the golden period of 3 to 7 years, when the tree crown undergoes explosive expansion. This requires regular potting to create space for the growing root system. By the time it has been planted for 3 to 5 years, it begins to take on a crown shape, and only requires regular pruning. When the tree age exceeds 7 years and enters the mature stage, the growth rate slows down, but the crown still extends outward. Until it is fully mature at 10-15 years, the tree species will reach a height of 15-25 meters and a crown diameter of 10-15 meters, becoming a towering giant.

Planting environment requirements:

The Instant Shade Chinese Banyan has a dense tree crown and strong root system, with excellent wind resistance. It thrives in a growth temperature range of 20°C - 35°C and prefers an environment with over 70% humidity. Moisture promotes the growth of aerial roots, and it is not tolerant of continuous frost. It is mainly planted in tropical regions. It can adapt to both full sunlight and partial shade conditions. It has good shade tolerance and has a very relaxed requirement for soil, preferring sandy loam or loam soil with good drainage. It can adapt to poor soil, clay soil, and mild saline-alkali conditions, and has excellent drought resistance.

Landscape greening effect

Street trees: One of the most widely used street trees in the Middle East, providing dense shade for roads and sidewalks.

Parks and public spaces: Creating a magnificent shade canopy for picnic areas, playgrounds and gathering spaces.

Parking lots and commercial areas: The dense tree canopy offers shade and shelter for vehicles and pedestrians.

Residential and parkland landscaping: Tropical Evergreen Landscaping Tree provides a privacy barrier and can lower the temperature by 6–10°C.

The Shade King: One of the most densely branched varieties among ornamental trees - it can lower the temperature under it by 6–10°C.

Windbreak and privacy barrier: The dense foliage is highly suitable for wind protection and visual obstruction.

Ecological benefits: It is an important green plant for urban air purifiers, dust collectors and noise reducers.

Maintenance Guide

1. The root system of the mature Chinese Banyan specimen is one of the representatives of shallow-rooted plants, with extremely strong penetration ability. When planting, it should not be placed near hardened roads, building foundations, underground pipelines or fences. Otherwise, its root system will easily break through the cement pavement and damage the pipelines several years later.

2. It is suitable for planting in tropical and subtropical regions. It is distributed in frost-free or lightly frosty areas such as South and Southwest China. In northern regions, it can only be used as a potted plant for indoor use in winter.

3. Rhinoceros beetles and scale insects can cause leaves to curl and turn black. Timely spraying of pyrethroids and other pesticides is required for prevention and control, and the internal air circulation and light of the tree crown should be maintained.
