Green Island ficus should be used much more but many people don't know this handsome, award-winning shrub that's prized for its low-maintenance qualities.

Many people are in South Florida to retire and relax, and others have busy, working lifestyles, so low maintenance shrubs are always high on the wish list.

Green island makes a wonderful addition to any landscape, working well as a new and different substitute for more typical shrubs like the popular Schillings holly.

Don't let the name "ficus" scare you - this variety won't take over your life, It's very well-behaved, grows more slowly and is easy to keep small. Plus it's extremely versatile. 

Native to the tropics of Asia, it thrives in warmer weather and prefers well-drained soil. Plant it in full sun to partial shade. This easy care beauty ranges in height from 3 to 4.5 feet tall. It is drought and salt-tolerant. Please note, the milky sap inside stems can cause skin irritations. Wear gloves when trimming and handling cuttings.
