Ficus microcarpa ‘Hillii Flash’ - Hills Weeping Fig

A hardy, fast-growing evergreen tree known for its glossy, multi-toned green foliage and smooth speckled trunk. Ficus microcarpa ‘Hillii Flash’ thrives in full sun to semi shade and is perfect for hedging, screening, or formal topiary. Compact, dense growth and rich colour make it a favourite choice for both residential and commercial landscapes.

Key Features:

• Soil: Prefers well-drained loam or sandy soil enriched with organic matter.
• Light: Full sun to semi shade, promotes dense, glossy foliage.
• Watering: Water deeply and regularly during establishment; reduce frequency once established.
• Fertiliser: Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring and mid-summer for lush growth.
• Maintenance: Prune regularly to maintain shape and density; ideal for formal hedges or standards.

Water the tree consistently after planting to ensure successful establishment. Once established, it can tolerate shorter dry periods.

A mulch layer around the base of the tree will help retain soil moisture and deter weeds.

Regular pruning will maintain a dense, neat appearance and can shape the tree as per desired aesthetics.
