Ficus Nitida (Indian Laurel) Standard Form 48/60/72 inch box

Indian Laurel (Ficus Nitida) is a statement of strength and elegance. Coveted for its dense, lustrous foliage and architectural presence, this evergreen tree creates a natural sense of luxury in both residential and estate landscapes. Its fast linear growth, glossy, broad foliage make it a perfect privacy tree forming lush living walls or sculptural specimens that define outdoor spaces. With skilled pruning, Ficus nitida can be shaped into formal hedges, multi-trunk specimens, or towering standards, making it one of the most versatile and refined trees for high-end landscapes. Typically maintained at heights of 10-20ft.

Recommended to be grown in full sun and well-drained soil, the Indian Laurel is both heat-tolerant and resilient, adapting effortlessly to California’s Mediterranean climate. Its ability to filter air and soften architecture makes it a designer favorite for courtyards, property borders, and contemporary garden designs
