This is my all-time favorite indoor houseplant, it grows slowly (but easily) to 8 foot in the home. It came as a suprise to me but this plant actually flowers and fruits! although it will not do so unless it is in near perfect conditions (like a hothouse) It should be allowed to dry out between waterings, extreamly tolerent of shade and drought! :D

Great looking good sized landscape plant. Shiny green leaves. The plant is supported by roots that continuiously grow out from the trunk and down into the ground. The plants are equally comfortable in full sun, partial sun or shade. Good on flat or hilly land. Due to the canopy of large leaves they are prone to being blown over by strong winds.
