Benjamin tree 'Starlight'
Ficus benjamina 'Starlight' | Also known as: Waringin 'Starlight', Tropic laurel 'Starlight', Java fig 'Starlight', Java tree 'Starlight' | Rating: votes | Print / Pdf
The Benjamin Tree, or Ficus benjamina, is an evergreen shrub that sports wonderfully glossy leaves and orangey-red and black fruits during the autumn. Although it’s an easy plant to grow, this sub-tropical small tree can’t cope with the harsh winter frosts the UK experiences. This makes it ideal to grow in a conservatory or indoors, although it will happily live outside during the warmer months of summer. It is toxic, and can cause skin allergies in some people
