Ficus microcarpa ‘Nitida’ is an evergreen tropical tree with an upright, rounded habit. It is excurrent when young, becoming decurrent with age. It features dense, glossy, deep green foliage making it an excellent screening tree when grown columnar. Other uses include as a hedge, large shade tree when grown as a standard, street tree, windbreak, container. Excellent in seacoast and desert landscapes. Moderate water needs when young; very low once established. It adapts to nearly all soil types (clay, loam, sand), provided the soil is well-draining. Tolerates partial shade, but performs best in full sun. Deer-resistant. Not cold hardy, freeze-damage at 32°F.
