Description

Ficus microcarpa hillii

Ficus hillii or 'Hill's Weeping Fig' are the hardiest of the evergreen ficus plants and are the number one choice for standardizing. The soft, white bark contrasts beautifully against the exuberant, glossy green foliage, making a feature out of your pleached hedge or standard topiary. Unlike other ficus, the foliage of the Hill's Weeping Ficus can be hit by a hard frost without recoiling and turning black. Ficus hillii can tolerate a wide range of soils from clay to sandy, preferring a rich, moist loam in which it would thrive. They grow best in full sun to part shade and produce no flowers, making it a no mess hedging option! Ficus roots are known to be quite vigorous, but can be controlled by keeping the foliage and head of the plant trimmed, roughly 2-4 times a year. They are best planted away from water pipes, easements and pools to avoid any root issues. See our Ficus Hedging & Screening Factsheet here for more about the different Ficus varieties!

Searles liquid fertilizer is a triple-action spray for use on ornamentals and roses in the garden. This ready to use spray on pack is the ideal way to foliar fertilise, which is where nutrients are sprayed directly on the leaves of plants for instant absorption.
  • For the best results we recommend applying to the foliage until saturated to the point of dripping – this allows the plants to take in the nutrients immediately, and the run-off drips into the soil feeding the roots.
  • Best applied on it’s own as mixing with other products may affect performance.
  • When temperatures exceed 32°C do not apply to foliage as leaf or damage may be possible.
For use of pests, blackspot, rust, mites & fungus. NOTE: This product is NOT suitable to use on edible plants.
