Lightsome, bright Ficus Starlight is the light of Bangkok, Thailand, where it is celebrated as their national tree. A true, familiar Benji shape but way fuller and smaller-scale than most, Starlight is naturally shapely and goes anywhere; in Bangkok and warmer winter places he does really well in the garden in brightest light and even sunlight. He will do wonderfully well in your home too. Long, pointed leaves, slightly folded down the midrib are colored freshest, grass green dipped in flashy, dazzling whiteness. Leafy waterfalls of the splashing green and white point gracefully to the ground. Put one in a nice, lightsome place in your home and expect him to be anything you want there, he's real easy to prune to any shape and kinda slow growing.
