The Ficus ‘Indian Laurel’ is one of the best medium to large shade trees you can find! Indian Laurels are evergreen trees ideal for growing in the Southwest. In fact, this near-perfect tree loves to grow where there’s plenty of full sun exposure. Of course, one of its big selling features is its wide-spreading canopy, which features lush evergreen foliage that adds beauty to any environment. We love to plant them on any landscape that could benefit from its generous shade capability. When properly placed around a home, its canopy can provide enough shade to help cool the home, which can lead to lower utility bills and a more comfortable indoor environment during those hot days.
As great as this Indian Laurel Ficus tree is for shade, it can also add some much-needed privacy. We love to plant them around property lines, where they can block out unwanted views in style and help homeowners achieve their own private backyard paradise! After all, Ficus nitida fits well with any tropical theme landscape, so they look fantastic planted with palm trees and other plants.
They have a fast growth rate, so you won’t be waiting long for them to add shade and privacy to your landscape. Best of all, once established, this drought-tolerant tree keeps its lush green appearance even in the most water-wise landscapes! Are you looking for a tree to act as a natural sound barrier? People that live near busy streets will want to plant plenty of Indian Laurel trees, as they can help reduce noise while adding some valuable curb appeal too!
Shade, privacy, beauty - this tropical tree has got it all and then some! Of course, if you want to bring instant natural maturity to your site today, we recommend buying as big as you can, and at Moon Valley Nurseries we have the bigger trees available right now!

- Beautiful treeOur Ficus tree is doing great after having for 3 years. Five months after we purchased our tree we had a horrendous hail storm which took off almost half of the leaves. I thought it was a goner. But I gave the tree two extra feedings of Moon Juice and it came right back. Four months later we had a very HOT summer which caused about one third of the leaves to turn black and fall off. Moon Juice and a week or two of extra water to the rescue and looking good again. All of this to say: Moon Valley's trees are grown to be HARDY. It has grown about 2 feet in 3 years and all our neighbors tell us what a beautiful tree it is. Thank you Moon Valley Nursery!
