Ficus ischnopoda

Ficus ischnopoda is an attractive small shrubby fig that grows on the edges of rivers in Southeast Asia. It has shiny narrow leaves that emerge a light coppery color and turn dark green as they mature. It tends to stay rather short and is unlikely to exceed 6ft in height in South Florida. It has a broad flat-topped branching structure. This species requires generous watering during dry periods to live in South Florida and is not at all an aggressive grower and does not have aggressive roots like its larger cousins.
