This beautiful Ficus Altissima tree makes a striking impression indoors. Its broad, smooth, shiny leaves are two tones of green, with pointy tips. In the wild, this tree can grow over 40 feet tall, but in your home, it should top out around 6 to 8 feet. Other common names include 'Lofty Fig'. Ficus Altissima is the cool new plant on the scene.  It displays large, leathery, electric, green-centered leaves edged in bright lime green.
