Ficus // benghalensis

Commonly known as: Ficus audrey

The Audrey grows staggeringly tall because of its woody stem, making your dream of having an indoor tree come true. The Audrey requires regular pruning to maintain its shape, but otherwise it is quite easy to care for – especially compared to its finicky relative the fiddle leaf fig! 

Common varieties of these plants have been cultivated since ancient times for their fruits, and they also have a lot of cultural importance as objects of worship.
