Health & Environmental Benefits Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Ficus altissima is a powerful contributor to a healthier environment.
Air Purification: Like other Ficus species, it is highly effective at filtering airborne pollutants, including formaldehyde and benzene, acting as a natural "green lung" for urban areas.
Reduces Urban Heat Island Effect: Its broad, dense canopy provides significant shade, cooling surrounding areas and reducing energy consumption for nearby buildings.
Supports Biodiversity: A mature tree can provide habitat and food for local wildlife, contributing to ecological balance.
Care & Maintenance Guide Our Ficus altissima are cultivated for resilience and low maintenance, making them an ideal choice for large-scale, long-term planting.
Sunlight: Thrives in Full Sun but can adapt to Partial Sun. Ample light encourages dense foliage and strong growth.
Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish a strong root system. Once established, it is highly drought-tolerant and typically requires watering on a Weekly basis during extended dry periods.
