Wholesale Ficus Nitida | The Ultimate Evergreen for Formal Hedges & Screens
Commercial Value & Applications Ficus nitida, commonly known as the Indian Laurel, is the landscape professional's go-to choice for creating structure and privacy. Its immense commercial value lies in its rapid growth, exceptional density, and unparalleled tolerance to shearing. For our wholesale partners, this translates to a high-demand, fast-turnover product that consistently meets the rigorous demands of large-scale residential, commercial, and municipal projects. It is the definitive plant for building "living walls" and executing precise, formal landscape designs.
Features & Appearance The defining feature of Ficus nitida is its incredibly dense canopy of small, glossy, vibrant green leaves. When pruned, it forms a solid, opaque surface, making it the perfect natural barrier. It has a naturally upright and vigorous growth habit, allowing it to form tall, elegant columns or wide, impenetrable hedges. This plant is a blank canvas for landscape design, ready to be sculpted to exact specifications.
Uses & Suitable Scenarios Ficus nitida is a versatile landscape workhorse, ideal for a range of applications:
Privacy Hedges: The industry standard for creating tall, dense screens along property lines, around pools, and to block unwanted views.
Formal Gardens: Perfect for shaping into geometric topiary (cones, spheres, cubes) and creating defined garden "rooms."
Urban Landscaping: Widely used as a durable, uniform street tree and for creating green barriers along roadways.
Architectural Accents: Can be pruned into columns or standards (lollipops) to frame entrances and add vertical elements to building facades.
