Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Ficus microcarpa 'Flash'
Ficus microcarpa 'Flash' delivers immediate canopy presence with a signature flush of vivid lime-green new growth against a dense, deep-green crown. A proven performer in high-end residential and commercial landscapes across Australia's warmer climates, it offers serious screening capability and architectural scale from day one.
Why Ficus 'Flash'
Distinctive new growth: emerging foliage in vivid lime-green provides year-round colour contrast without seasonal compromise.
Rapid canopy establishment: fast growth rate accelerates coverage and structure, closing gaps in the landscape quickly.
High-density screening: a tightly packed evergreen canopy delivers effective visual and acoustic privacy at scale.
Urban and coastal resilience: tolerates a wide range of soil types, heat loads, and exposed conditions with minimal intervention.
Low ongoing maintenance: once established, requires little input to hold form and performance.
Ideal Applications
Boundary and perimeter screening: forms a substantial, continuous green wall for privacy-critical residential and commercial projects.
Avenue and driveway planting: planted in formal rows, delivers a commanding resort or estate aesthetic with immediate effect.
Feature shade specimen: broad canopy provides meaningful shade cover over entertaining areas, pools, and hardscape.
Tropical and contemporary compositions: integrates cleanly with bold-textured palms, cordylines, and large-leaf tropical species.
