It thrives in full sun or partial shade, making it suitable for both open spaces and shaded areas. Moreover, its sturdy trunk and branches make it suitable for use as a trellis or climbing plant, while its roots can be trained to grow along a wall or fence.
The Ficus microcarpa is also known for its adaptability to various soil types and moisture levels. It can tolerate both well-drained and moisture-retentive soils, making it easy to incorporate into a range of outdoor landscapes. Whether you're looking to create a tropical-style garden or add a touch of drama to your outdoor space, the Ficus microcarpa is a versatile choice that will enhance any outdoor setting.
