Natal Wild Fig

An adaptable, fast-growing, evergreen or semi-deciduous tree depending on location.

Ficus natalensis is known for its ability to create dense shade and its attractive, spreading growth habit. It is ideal for large gardens or park-like settings, as it needs space to thrive.

This tree is highly wind-resistant and performs well in the Western Cape, including mild coastal conditions.

It is tolerant of light frost and grows well in a variety of soil types. While it does not have showy flowers, its small figs provide an important food source for birds and wildlife.

A great option for those looking for a hardy, shade-giving tree with a strong presence.
