#Ficus_microcarpa????
also known as::????????
Chinese banyan, ???
Malayan banyan, ???
Indian laurel, ???
curtain fig,??? or
gajumaru ???
is a tree in the fig family #Moraceae.????
It is native in a range from #China through tropical #Asia and the Caroline Islands to #Australia.??
It is widely planted as a shade tree and frequently misidentified as F. retusa or as F. nitida (syn. F. benjamina).?????????
Ficus microcarpa is a #tropical_tree with smooth light-gray bark and entire oblanceolate leaves (5–6 cm) long which in Mediterranean climates grows to about (12 meters) tall and with an equal spread of crown. ???????????
Where conditions are favorable for the banyan habit (tropical and humid subtropical) it grows much larger, producing great numbers of prop roots.????
The largest known specimen is Auntie Sarah's Banyan at the Menehune Botanical Gardens near Nawiliwili, Kauai, Hawai'i which is 33.53 metersi n height, (76.2 meters) in crown spread, and having over one thousand aerial trunks.???????
The F. microcarpa with the thickest trunk is also in Hawai'i, at Keaau Village, Puna District, on the Big Island. Its main trunk is (8.53 meters) thick at breast height.?????????????
It is also (59.44 meters) in limb spread.??
Only slightly smaller is the "Banyan at Lomteuheakal" in Vanuatu, a F. microcarpa with a main trunk 27.15 feet thick (26 meters circumference).????
Ficus microcarpa is native to tropical Asia, southern China, Taiwan, islands of the Western Pacific and Australia.???????????
A tropical and subtropical species, the tree requires a warm climate and a humid atmosphere.???
It can nevertheless withstand temperatures close to 0 °C. ????????????
The species occurs mainly at low elevations, and its natural habitats include tropical rainforests, river edges, coasts, swamps and mangroves.???
Cultivation::??????????
Ficus microcarpa is cultivated as an ornamental tree for planting in gardens, parks, and in containers as an indoor plant and bonsai specimen.
In Southeast Asia, ?????????
it is cultivated as a shade tree because of its dense foliage. ???????????
Its ability to produce discards also makes it easy to drive in hedge or bush.???????
As a tropical and subtropical tree, it is suitable for temperatures above 20 °C all year long, which explains why it is generally sold as a houseplant.???
It can, however, withstand relatively low temperatures, suffering damage only below 0 °C. ????
High humidity (70% - 100%) is preferable and seems to favor the development of aerial roots. ???
The species can be propagated easily by cuttings, either in water or directly in a substrate of sand or potting soil.??????
Ficus Emerald Green is an Australian cultivar with glossy, green foliage and upright growth habit that can be used in a formal garden setting as a hedgerow
. The cultivar can also be trained to look similar to a 'lollipop' in a container.???????
