Ficus microcarpa ‘Nitida’ Column Form, commonly known as the Indian Laurel, is a versatile evergreen tree prized for its dense, upright growth habit. It features glossy, dark green foliage with vibrant lime-green new growth that creates a striking contrast. This cultivar is specifically trained or pruned into a narrow, columnar shape, making it an ideal choice for tall privacy hedges, noise reduction, or architectural accents in tight spaces. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. While it can reach significant heights, it is easily maintained with regular shearing to fit specific landscape needs.
