Ficus 'Tuffy'
Tuffy Fig

Description:
Compact, evergreen shrub or small tree with dense, glossy dark green foliage and a naturally upright, bushy growth habit. Highly valued for its ability to form neat hedges and screens, it responds exceptionally well to clipping and can be maintained as a formal hedge or grown as an attractive feature plant. Its lush foliage provides year-round colour and privacy, making it an excellent choice for urban gardens and contemporary landscapes.

Height:
2–3m

Width:
1.5–2m

Position:
Full sun to part shade. Performs best in a warm, sheltered position and is well suited to frost-free or very mild frost areas.

Soil:
Prefers fertile, well-drained soil but adapts to a range of soil types, including clay and sandy soils, provided drainage is adequate.

Uses:

• Formal or informal hedging
• Privacy screens
• Feature or specimen plant
• Large containers and courtyard gardens
• Urban and coastal landscapes

Care Tips:

• Water regularly during establishment and during prolonged dry periods
• Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring and again in summer for lush, healthy growth
• Trim regularly to maintain the desired size and shape; responds exceptionally well to clipping
• Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch away from the trunk
• Drought tolerant once established but performs best with occasional deep watering during extended dry spells
