Large green ficus leaves harmonize with any home decor, making this tall fig tree a great choice for kitchen decor, living room plants, outdoor plants, and much. The leaves of soft tree ferns are large, glossy dark green, alternatively arranged, and bipinnate or tripinnate (sterile or fertile) having a rough texture. These leaves are very attractive with gracefully arching and deeply divided terminal-rosette which make them distinctive.
The specific epithet, macrophylla, is derived from two Greek words. Macro means large, and phyllon means leaf, and they reference the huge leaves of this tree. This tree produces the largest leaves and flowers of the Magnolia genus. This tree is native, but difficult to use in the landscape due to its large leaves.. This species is easy to identify by its dark green leaves with a rust-colored, fuzzy underside and large, creamy-white blossoms. The tree forms a dense, pyramidal canopy and typically grows to heights of 60 to 80 feet, although dwarf cultivars are also available for smaller landscapes.
