Ficus lyrata, or the Fiddle Leaf Fig if grown in the open will grow to great height and width, but it is usually grown as an indoor or conservatory plant where it remains a much more compact form.
Large fiddle-shaped, light green leaves that have deep, very prominent veins are born on slender stems.
It can often grow as a tall, un-branching pillar that creates great vertical interest in indoor situations.
If grown in pots it provides a handsome tropical feel indoors or on a patio.
Often seen in public spaces as this is an extremely versatile plant being able to handle all sorts of odd lighting and air pollution.
