Ficus obliqua 15+seeds "Small leaved fig"

In cultivation it does not normally exceed 15 metres. This species has elliptical leaves in a glossy mid-green to some 6 cm, small for a fig and giving it its common name. The fruits are smallish in a bright yellow carried prominently on short stems. In the wild this species more normally grows as a strangler. With its glossy small leaves, attractive fruit and a trunk that develops a knotted, gnarled form, it males an excellent bonsai subject or potted indoor plant.. Despite the habit of strangler figs in the wild, they can be grown as free-standing plants in cultivation.
Ficus obliqua is too large for a normal suburban garden but while small is a useful and interesting indoor or potted plant that makes an interesting bonsai subject.
Despite its sub-tropical origin, it will grow successfully in temperate areas. It is adaptable to a range of soils and appreciates adequate moisture. Propagation is usually from seed which germinates well without any pretreatment. Cuttings also strike successfully
