This Tiger Bark Ficus has a beautifully mottled trunk. The pale tiger-stripe markings that give this variety its name curve up through an informal S to a fresh, glossy canopy, with a young aerial root already running down alongside the trunk. It stands about 16 inches tall in a rectangular 6″ × 5″ plastic training pot.
The trunk is the feature that draws the eye first: pale, tiger-stripe markings run along its surface, mottling the bark as the trunk bends in an informal S before opening into a fresh, glossy canopy. A young aerial root already trails down beside the trunk, following the same line, so the tree reads as a small, self-contained landscape even in its training pot.
