Why choose a Ficus religiosa live plant?
A Ficus religiosa live plant gives growers the opportunity to establish a long-lived tree with strong cultural and ecological associations. Kew recognises Ficus religiosa as an accepted species and records it as a tree native from Southeast Pakistan to Myanmar, including India. The species is widely recognised by its characteristic heart-shaped leaves and broad mature canopy.
Growing and placement
Select a location with adequate sunlight and enough long-term space for root and canopy development. Young plants need regular watering while they establish, but the soil should not remain waterlogged. Use well-drained soil and provide routine garden care appropriate to your climate. Because this is a tree that can become large, avoid planting directly beside foundations, walls, drains or underground utilities.
