Ever wonder what those gorgeous, leafy trees are called …you know, the ones that often grace the cover of magazines …
… and seem to be nestled in the corners of the most glamorous, swoonworthy rooms.
It’s called a fiddle-leaf fig!
I have been searching for one of these trees (actually a bush!) for many years now. Finally, I asked at my favorite florist (locals … you all know Sadie at The English Garden Flower Shop) where I could find one.
As always, she came through for me and tracked down several sizes at one of her growers in Florida.
I wanted tall and trimmed (topiary style). You can also get them where the leaves grow all the way down the trunk.
A week later, she delivered this beauty to my living room!

I just love the big full leaves. These plants like lots of indirect light and to dry out a little between waterings.

I hope she will be happy in my living room for many years to come!
Thank you for this post! I've been eyeing these trees in magazines for months now, and have heard them called different names. Thanks for clarifying! Now to track one down in my area….the one you got is so perfect!
