Ficus microcarpa Flash Standards
Ficus form one of the most versatile and commercially important genera in the landscape trade. From the ultra-glossy Flash Fig used in screening and topiary to large-scale hillii standards, our Ficus range covers statement feature trees through to high-density hedging.
Specifier notes. A core species in our screening range, suited to fast establishment of visual and noise buffers. Holds its own as a standalone feature where form and presence matter more than mass.
How we supply it. Tolerates topiary work — responds to repeated tip pruning without dieback. Fast establishment makes it a strong choice on projects where a hedge needs to read as a hedge inside 12–18 months.
Cape Nursery production. All Cape Nursery stock is grown 7 km from the Pacific Ocean, hardened to coastal sun and wind from propagation rather than acclimatised at point of sale. Specimens leave us biosecurity-traceable, and root-checked. National delivery is available; collection from Ewingsdale is welcomed Mon–Thu 7:30am–4pm.
