Rubber trees ( Ficus elastica) can grow quite large, reaching impressive heights.
In their native jungle habitat, rubber trees can reach up to 100 feet in height. However, when cultivated in landscapes, they are more commonly seen at a manageable size of 35 to 45 feet tall. This makes them suitable as screen, shade, patio, or specimen trees in many settings. Their coarse texture adds a strong visual element to the landscape.
Here's a breakdown:
- Natural Habitat: Up to 100 feet
- Landscaped Settings: 35-45 feet
Therefore, while capable of reaching towering heights, rubber trees are often maintained at a smaller size suitable for various landscaping purposes.
