Ficus maclellandii (Alii Fig) is an evergreen tree from Southeast Asia that is widely cultivated as an ornamental foliage plant. It develops slender, elongated leaves that are glossy green and form a graceful, cascading canopy. In cultivation it is grown both as a small indoor tree and as a landscape specimen in warm climates, valued for its elegant habit and tolerance of pruning.

This species thrives in bright filtered light and well-drained soil, and it adapts well to container culture. Outdoors it can be grown in USDA Zones 10-11, where it remains evergreen year-round. The plant prefers consistent moisture but should not be waterlogged, and it should be protected from cold, as temperatures below about 35F may cause leaf drop and damage. Several variegated cultivars, including Amstel King and Amstel Gold , are especially popular for their ornamental foliage and are widely offered in trade. Makes a good container specimen or bonsai.
