When you invest time, money, and energy into your Ficus Altissima, you want to make sure that you'll be able to enjoy it for years to come. Thankfully, you'll have plenty of time to do so! When cared for properly, these trees can last up to 20 years or longer! Make sure to check on them routinely to see if they have everything that they need. Neglecting your plant is the easiest way to catalyze decline.
