¿¿"Port Jackson fig"

Ficus rubiginosa, commonlyknown as the Port Jackson Fig or Rusty Fig comes from the Queenslandand New South Wales. A variable fig in the wild it can come as a shrubor a large tree to some 50 metres, just depending on its habitat.

PortJackson Fig is perhaps the most commonly bonsaied of all the Australianfigs and is a highly prized bonsai subject.It has glossy, dark-greenoval leaves to some 10 cm. These are shiny above and rusty red on theunder-side, giving it its other common name of the rusty leafed fig..The trunk is normally gnarled with some buttressing and air roots arecommon when grown in high humidity. The 1 cm fruits are popular withfruit bats and foraging birds.

As with most figs this speciescan take low light, indoor conditions and in the outdoors can be grownin full sun or part shade. With regular pruning and shaping this onecan make an excellent dense hedge.

Remember that when grown ingarden cultivation and given good conditions with plenty of warmth,moisture and food this is a fast-growing species that left to its ownresources will be too large for the average garden. An interestingaside is that it is tolerant of salt spray, although this will normallylead to dwarfing and a reduced size.

As a bonsai subject thisspecies is an excellent choice. It is fast-growing, the leaves reducewell with defoliation and the trunk can produce fascinating forms. Andyou can get air roots as well if this is your thing.

Thisspecies is not frost tolerant. It likes a rich loamy soil with goodmoisture. As indicated it can take full sun or pat shade and istolerant of salt spray
