The Benjamina Ficus Tree is a very popular landscaping tree, but recently it has been even more popular as a potted patio plant.

Benjamina Ficus Trees, also known as the Weeping Fig, look great when potted up and placed near doors, entry ways or even gardens. Once it gets cold, bring it inside, near a warm window, and you get a beautiful house plant, too!

We've seen these versatile trees potted up in kitchens, sunrooms, and even living rooms. All it needs is a sunny spot in your home and it thrives!

When potted, they only grow up to 6-10 ft. tall, so you don't have to worry about it getting too big for your home!

Benjamina Ficus Trees are excellent for shearing and sculpting.
This lovely tree with highly glossed deep green leaves can adapt to so many uses its amazing. The foliage has a natural weeping habit that is very ornamental. It is also very dense, so you can easily shape it into any form you'd like. If you choose to plant them in your landscape, you can easily sculpt them or leave them to grow into naturally formed beauty.

Benjamina Ficus Trees are evergreen in mild climates.
Your ficus will survive the occasional freeze. However, if you live in colder climates, be sure to bring it indoors during the winter months, and it won't drop its leaves.

It's Easy to Plant your Benjamina Ficus Tree
	Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Benjamina Ficus Tree . If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
	Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your Benjamina Ficus Tree gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
	Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Benjamina Ficus Tree again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.
