I currently have three small trees of this Ficus auriculata. I have seen large full grown trees in Santa Barbara, CA and at the Huntington Gardens near Pasadena. Mine seem to be doing well here but need a lot of water during the hot summer months and lose some of their leaves during the winter. However, they have not experienced frost which I believe would be a problem for them. I really love their look and hope to keep them happy.

Heres mine a couple of months ago.
