The Ficus Microcarpa 'Nitida' Standard is renowned for its exceptionally dense, small-leafed foliage that creates the perfect 'lollipop' topiary form. This variety is specifically prized for its compact leaf structure and vigorous branching habit, making it ideal for precise topiary work and formal garden designs. Trim new growth every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring-summer) to maintain its characteristic dense, compact crown. Use sharp, clean secateurs and cut just above leaf nodes for optimal results. Feed with a balanced fertilizer monthly during growing season to encourage dense foliage development. The 'Nitida' variety's naturally tight growth pattern and small leaves make it particularly suitable for detailed topiary shapes, formal hedging, or as an elegant standard specimen in containers where its refined appearance can be fully appreciated.
