Ficus Flash

Ficus microcarpa hillii Flash

The Ficus Flash is a hardy evergreen tree commonly used for topiary standards or for a hedge. Also known as Ficus ‘Hillii’ Flash.

Ficus microcarpa hillii ‘Flash’ is a fast-growing, evergreen tree known for its dense, lush foliage and versatility in landscaping. It’s a popular choice for hedging, screening, and as a feature tree due to its attractive appearance and ease of maintenance.

Key Features:

  • Size: Grows to about 6–10 meters tall and 3–5 meters wide, but can be pruned to maintain a smaller size.
  • Foliage: Glossy green leaves with a mix of light and dark green tones, providing a fresh and vibrant look.
  • Growth Habit: Dense, upright, and fast-growing.
  • Flowers & Fruits: Produces small, inconspicuous flowers followed by tiny, non-messy figs.
  • Roots: Has a vigorous root system, so care should be taken when planting near structures.

Ideal Uses:

  • Formal hedges – creates a lush, dense screen.
  • Privacy screens & windbreaks – effective for blocking noise and views.
  • Feature tree – great for parks, gardens, and avenues.
  • Topiary & pleaching – responds well to shaping and pruning.

Growing Conditions:

  • Sun & Shade: Prefers full sun to partial shade.
  • Soil: Adaptable to most soil types but thrives in well-draining soil.
  • Watering: Drought-tolerant once established but benefits from deep watering in dry periods.
  • Temperature: Tolerates a range of climates, including coastal and subtropical conditions.
  • Maintenance: Responds well to pruning and shaping; regular trimming helps maintain density.

Ficus Flash Considerations:

  • Root System: The aggressive roots can lift pavements and invade pipes. Consider root barriers if planting near buildings.
  • Shedding: Minimal leaf drop, making it a cleaner choice than some other ficus varieties.

Ficus Flash (Ficus microcarpa ‘Hillii Flash’) is a fast-growing, evergreen tree with dense, glossy green foliage, ideal for hedging, screening, shade, and street planting, and is highly adaptable, drought-tolerant, and low-maintenance.
