Ficus benghalensis ‘Audrey’

The Ficus benghalensis ‘Audrey’ is the national tree of India. In legend this plant was the tree in which Buddha sat for 49 days to achieve enlightenment! This is related to the Ficus lyrata ‘Fiddle leaf fig’ but is much more tolerant of different light levels and is easier to care for.
