Ficus Triangularis Variegata

[Gbarce]

I  bought this tree in a local plant show.

Just wanted to share.

It was an entry in one of the local shows way back and appears in the commercial sections very rarely.

Hmm... seems to be hard to see in that last picture.  Here's a shot of it last night inside the house.

Variegation is pretty nice too-- having several shades and consistent in all the leaves

The trunk has aerial roots similar to other ficuses

... and the shape of the leaves are pretty cool too.  Its not  called Ficus Triangularis for nothing.

Thanks for sharing Gene.

I used to have one of these 10 years or so ago as a houseplant, where it's a little tricky. It should do well outdoors in your area and here in SoFla. I haven't seen one for years; now I'm on a mission...

I love this plant. I only wished it grew here outside.

Ken, if you still lived in SoCal, you could pick up a good sized one from Rancho Soledad.

Nice Plant!

Did you see anyone offering the any Ficus psuedopalma?

What does that look like?  You have a picture you can post?

I just remember seeing them all over the hillside at Mount Makiling in Laguna.

Saipan-cnmi-- Are the leaves rough like sand paper?

nope I don't think there were any.  But now that Ive seen the picture I think I do see them growing in some odd out of the way places.  I don't think they are regarded as ornamental over here though.  I have not seen those sold as garden plants-- I even have the sinking suspicion that they might even be regarded as "weeds"
