No, Fiddles are tropical trees. They can get over 40' tall and 20' wide. I just went outside and did some photography. Included was the Fiddle Leaf Ficus. She's now at least 25' tall. She's been growing approximately 5' each year since she was planted. She's happy to finally be outside full time and have real "dirt" to grow in.

I've air-layered this 25 years old Fiddle dozens of times, planting each of those rooted, air-layered, branches to create new stand-alone plants. I haven't air-layered her since we moved to Vero Beach four years ago, but here is a photo of what those potted, air-layered branches looked like before I sold them.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
