Wholesale Ficus microcarpa 'Green Island' — one of South Florida's most dependable landscape shrubs.
Ficus microcarpa 'Green Island'
Green Island Ficus is one of the most widely specified shrubs by South Florida landscape contractors — and for good reason. Its slow, dense growth habit means it holds its shape without constant trimming, making it a low-maintenance win for both the installer and the homeowner. The rounded, waxy leaves have a clean, refined look that works in everything from formal estate landscapes to commercial median plantings.
At Heritage Farms, we grow Green Island Ficus in multiple container sizes to support a range of project types and budgets. Whether you're filling a long border or specifying accent plants for a high-end installation, we typically have the size you need in stock.
