Rusty Fig Tree || Ficus Rubiginosa || شجرة التين الصدئ || Ornamental Tree UAE & KSA

The Rusty Fig Tree (Ficus rubiginosa) شجرة التين الصدئ, also known as the Port Jackson Fig or Little-leaf Fig, is a beautiful ornamental tree native to Australia and the Pacific Islands. Recognizable by its small, dark green, elliptical leaves with a distinctive rusty-colored underside, this tree adds a lush, dense appearance to any garden or indoor space.

The Rusty Fig tree produces small, edible figs that ripen to a purple-black color in its natural habitat, although fruiting is rare when grown indoors. With its broad canopy, the Ficus rubiginosa can grow up to 50 feet (15 meters) in height, making it an excellent choice for outdoor landscapes in warm climates like the UAE & KSA. This adaptable tree thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and can be pruned to maintain a manageable size for indoor or container planting.
