15 Gallon Ficus Nitida Column – Monrovia Collection
Ficus microcarpa ‘Nitida’, commonly known as the Indian Laurel Fig, is one of the most popular and reliable landscape trees in the Southwest — and the 15 Gallon Ficus Nitida Column is the perfect size for creating instant privacy and lush, green architecture in any setting.
Grown by Monrovia for exceptional quality, this columnar variety features dense, glossy foliage and a naturally upright form — ideal for hedging, screening, or adding structure to patios, courtyards, and entryways. Its vibrant green canopy stays full year-round, offering both beauty and function in residential and commercial landscapes alike.
🌱 Care Tips for Success
Light: Thrives in full sun. Can tolerate partial shade but develops best color and density in bright conditions.
Water: Water deeply and regularly until established, then reduce frequency. Drought-tolerant once mature.
Humidity: Naturally adapted to dry, arid climates. Minimal misting needed.
Fertilizer: Feed monthly during active growth with Fox Farms Grow Big or a balanced all-purpose fertilizer for strong root development.
Soil: Prefers well-draining soil such as Fox Farms Ocean Forest or a sandy loam mix. Avoid compacted soils.
Maintenance: Prune lightly to maintain shape or encourage denser growth. Can be trained into hedges, columns, or sculptural forms.
