A tropical, evergreen tree with shiny, pointed leaves that are oval shaped, and branches that droop downwards.
When mature it can spread very broadly and require support for the branches.
It also produces aerial roots and very invasive underground roots.
Most often seen as a potted specimen as it will grow indoors under average lighting conditions or thrive on a patio in a large tub with plenty of diffused light.
Not frost hardy, "Starlight" has brilliant variegated leaves, but is relatively slow-growing compared to the species.
