Ficus Hillii 'Flash' is an Australian native with emerald green foliage and lighter green new growth. Having a fast-growing habit, 'Flash' can grow to 8-10 meters tall if untrimmed, but is usually kept around 3-4 meters tall for hedging and formal garden design. Its foliage creates wonderful topiary standards and cones which can be grown in pots if kept clipped.
