The Fiddle Leaf Fig gets all the press. The Ficus Altissima quietly outperforms it.

Same bold, tree-like presence. Broader, glossier leaves with that sought-after variegated lime and green pattern. Thicker trunk. And considerably less drama about its living situation. This Ficus Altissima tree is already the size most people are working toward - a wide, branching canopy on a substantial trunk that fills a room the way a piece of furniture can't.

Native to tropical forests across Southeast Asia, this fig can reach 100 feet in the wild. Indoors, a large container and your ceiling keep things more manageable - typically around 6 feet, which is exactly where this specimen already is. She's a commitment, and she's worth it.

She is not pet-friendly, so placement away from curious animals is worth thinking through before she arrives.

One plant. One home.

There's one of her. Book a live video call to meet her before someone else does - you say hello, she ships exactly as you saw her.

How much light does a Ficus Altissima need?

Ficus Altissima thrives in bright indirect light and benefits from a few hours of gentle direct sun - early morning or late afternoon - to maintain dense growth and strong variegation. Harsh midday sun through glass can scorch her leaves, so a position right beside your brightest window, rather than directly in it, works best. For a large specimen, rotating the pot periodically helps the canopy fill out evenly rather than leaning toward the light source.

How often should you water a Ficus Altissima?

Ficus Altissima should be watered when the top layer of soil has dried out, then watered slowly and thoroughly until water drains from the base. For a large specimen in a deep pot, this typically means watering every one to two weeks, more frequently in bright warm conditions and less in lower light or winter. Chronic overwatering is the main cause of root rot and yellowing leaves in this Ficus tree, so when in doubt, wait another day or two before watering.

What fertilizer does a Ficus Altissima need?

Ficus Altissima benefits from a balanced liquid fertilizer applied every four weeks during spring and summer. Large, actively growing specimens appreciate consistent feeding to maintain vigorous growth and foliage color, but over-fertilizing causes salt buildup and leaf tip damage, so sticking to the recommended dilution matters. Feeding should stop in autumn and winter when growth naturally slows.

What temperature does a Ficus Altissima like?

Ficus Altissima is most comfortable between 65-75°F (18-24°C) and prefers a stable, consistently warm room. Cold drafts, sudden temperature changes, and relocation can all trigger leaf drop in this fig - a well-known Ficus trait. She should never be exposed to near-freezing temperatures and is best kept away from exterior doors and air conditioning vents.

Does a Ficus Altissima like humidity?

Ficus Altissima prefers moderate to high humidity, ideally around 50% or above, for best foliage quality. For a large specimen, a room humidifier or grouping with other plants is more effective than misting alone. Low humidity shows up as brown, crispy leaf edges over time.

How big does a Ficus Altissima get indoors?

Indoors, Ficus Altissima is typically maintained at around 6 feet tall, with a broad, branching canopy that can spread several feet wide in good conditions. Container size and ceiling height are the practical limits - in her native Southeast Asian forests, this fig species reaches close to 100 feet tall. This particular specimen is already at that impressive indoor height, with the canopy to match.

How fast does a Ficus Altissima grow?

Ficus Altissima is a moderately fast grower under good light, warmth, and humidity - faster than many comparable indoor trees. Indoors, reaching 6 feet takes several years of consistent care, which is what makes a mature specimen worth having now. Growth slows noticeably in lower light or when the plant is pot-bound and underfed.

Is a Ficus Altissima pet-friendly?

Ficus Altissima is not pet-friendly. As a fig species, it contains irritating compounds in its sap and foliage - including ficin and psoralen - that are toxic to both cats and dogs. The ASPCA lists Ficus species as toxic to pets, with symptoms including drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, and skin irritation. She's best placed in a room or position that pets cannot access.

Is a Ficus Altissima toxic to cats?

Ficus Altissima is toxic to cats. The sap and foliage of fig trees can cause oral and gastrointestinal irritation, with symptoms including drooling, vomiting, and diarrhea. Any cat that chews the foliage should be monitored closely and a vet contacted if symptoms appear.

Is a Ficus Altissima toxic to dogs?

Ficus Altissima is toxic to dogs. Contact with or ingestion of the sap and foliage can cause gastrointestinal irritation and dermal irritation, with symptoms including vomiting, drooling, and lethargy. Dogs prone to chewing houseplants should be kept well away from her, and a vet should be contacted if ingestion occurs.

David Rohl: A "Maverick" in Search of History
Format: Paperback
Recently I wrote a review of Peter Enns' book "The Evolution of Adam" in which I made a brief reference to David Rohl's "From Eden to Exile: The 5000 Year History of the People of the Bible." Several friends who read the review emailed me, curious about Rohl's book and encouraging me to follow up on Enns' book with a somewhat detailed review of From Eden to Exile. Hence...this review. From Eden to Exile is Rohl's own "follow-up" to his previous book "Pharaohs and Kings: A Biblical Quest." It's important here that I inform the reader of the following: (1) Pharaohs and Kings (in my view) is a far more compelling book than From Eden to Exile; and (2) I would strongly recommend that readers unfamiliar with Rohl read Pharaohs and Kings, prior to reading From Eden to Exile. With these thoughts in mind (and before commenting on Eden to Exile), I believe it will prove worthwhile to focus briefly on Rohl's Pharaohs and Kings prior to moving on to his second book - the two being closely related in terms of subject matter. First, it needs to be stated here at the outset that Rohl (unfortunately) has not received much in the way of either praise and/or encouragment from his fellow Egyptologists, most of whom see him as a sort of "reckless intruder" into the discipline, presenting arguments for a revised chronology (what Rohl refers to as "the New Chronology") that his critics appear to regard as little more than fanciful speculation. This is most unfortunate. Rohl's views are fully deserving of critical assessment; however, the casual (sometimes contemptuous) manner with which his views have been almost entirely dismissed hardly constitutes the "finest hour" in the discipline of ancient Egyptian studies - and this would include the oftentimes quite dismissive attitude of Kenneth A. Kitchen, an Egyptologist and conservative Christian who has written his own book on the subject:"On the Reliability of the Old Testament," Eerdmans, 2003. I clearly am no scholar on the history of ancient Egypt. On the other hand, I have been reading on the subject extensively now for more than 40 years - and this out of sheer love for the subject as opposed to academic profession. And one thing I have learned throughout this reading process is that ancient Egyptian chronology is - for a certainty - in some degree of chaos. (It's not all that difficult to locate comments to this effect from Egyptologists themselves). The standard reference guide for the chronology of ancient Egypt is based foundationally on a chronological history of the ancient pharaohs that dates all the way back to the writings of an Egyptian priest named Manetho, whose written account dates to the third century BC - not exactly what we normally consider "the latest available evidence." Furthermore, Manetho's account itself has not survived; what we do know of it is to be found in the writings of Josephus (first century AD), and the early church fathers Julius Africanus (third century AD) and Eusebius (fourth century AD). Indeed, Egyptian scholar (and conservative Christian) James K. Hoffmeier acknowledges as much in his recent book "Ancient Israel in Sinai" (Oxford, 2005) when he writes regarding Manetho's account: "It is widely acknowledged that names are garbled and that some of the dynasties are not sequential but contemporaneous, and that there are clearly legendary stories preserved... Nevertheless," he continues, "Manetho is taken seriously in historical studies." Indeed he is! Egyptologists have precious little more to go on from the ancient world other than Manetho's account. And yet it is somewhat astonishing to discover the extent to which Manetho's account has been (for the most part) dogmatized into a rigid system that appears to be unyielding. And it is against this rigid wall of Egyptological dogmatism that Rohl must butt his head. (Little wonder that he is not fondly regarded within the discipline). That being said, I would strongly caution all readers (and especially readers of the Old Testament, where a good deal of its chronology is tied directly to Manetho's modernized system) to regard this correlation - between OT chronology and Egyptian chronology - with some degree of appropriate caution. In fact, the very controversy over the date of the Exodus (13th century or 15th century) is related directly to the unbridled confusion surrounding ancient Egyptian chronology. As regards From Eden to Exile I would state the following: (1) Rohl's treatment of early Genesis (Adam to Abraham) is highly speculative and he appears to be connecting dots that were never intended to be contiguous; (2) his book takes on greater promise when he reaches the area of his own particular expertise: Joseph in Egypt. Rohl places Joseph firmly within the 12th dynasty, during the reign of pharaohs Senuseret III and Amenemhat III - and his arguments here (despite the standard protest from his fellow scholars) are highly compelling and fully deserving of something other than "we standard Egyptologists always know best!" (Quite frankly, I've reached the point where I believe a more positive - and more accurate! - understanding of ancient Egyptian chronology will have to await the work of younger scholars (and Rohl has plenty of them!) who are more willing to think outside the box by considering other possibilities. As so often happens, we must simply wait for the 'old guard' to retire so that younger scholars - with fresh ideas and a willingness to engage new evidence - can take their place.) And, finally (3); although much of From Eden to Exile is written in a style reminiscent of historical novels, this should not (in and of itself) cause the reader to think that all we have here is manufactured storyline. On the contrary (certainly beginning with Joseph), Rohl weaves his factual history into the unfolding story in such a way as to make the history not only real but filled with life and event. Furthermore, Rohl fully acknowledges in his Introduction that he will be telling a narrative story as he seeks to "fill in the gaps" where hard evidence from ancient historical sources is plain and simply unavailable. And because Rohl distances himself from any particular religious affiliation it means that both evangelicals and fundamentalists should be able to read his account to great profit, without becoming unduly disturbed by some of his conclusions (e.g., the first five chapters). Indeed, his astonishing defense of the historical integrity of the biblical account displays enormous objectivity, far surpassing (in many ways) various books on the subject that have been produced by Christian publishers throughout the past 25 years. I would like to conclude my comments here by strongly urging all evangelical OT scholars to thoroughly familiarize themselves with Rohl's writings - Pharaohs and Kings in particular. Despite his critics this book is entirely deserving of serious reflection. His defense of a 15th century date for the Exodus is (in my view...and the view of many others) highly compelling and by no means easy to dismiss. (I fully understand that most evangelical scholars opt for the later date of 1250 BC during the reign of Rameses II). One continues to wonder, however, why the reference to Rameses in Genesis 47:11 is so easily regarded as an anachronism while Exodus 1:11 somehow places one firmly within the reign of Rameses II. Or why the clear reference to 480 years in 1 Kings 6:1 is so easily dismissed as most likely merely symbolic as opposed to actual - this despite the additional support for a literal understanding of these years that one gets from Joshua 11:26. But then we already know why: standard Egyptian chronology places Rameses II in the mid-thirteenth century BC, all of which "harmonizes" so well with Exodus 1:11. Thus, ipso facto, the Exodus occurred @ 1250 BC. I find myself far more persuaded by Rohl's account of the Hyksos invasion of Egypt (very likely the Asiatic Amalakites of Exodus 17) following upon the Exodus, when Egypt was almost disemboweled and severely weakened by a God named Yahweh, then any other account of the Hyksos invasion I have ever read from any standard Egyptian historian. (By the way: a quick perusal of ten books in my own library on ancient Egypt displays an enormous amount of diversity and subjective opinion, a rather clear indication that (voices to the contrary) there is precious little overall harmony and understanding amongst the scholars themselves when dealing with numerous aspects of ancient Egypt and its pharaohs.) Perhaps all of Rohl's conclusions are entirely bogus. Nonetheless, the massive amount of information he offers the reader for serious consideration needs to be offset by responsible Egyptian historians who can demonstrate (clearly and persuasively) the error of his ways, and do so with strong and powerful evidence that will illustrate the point. (Ad hominen arguments are worthless as a retort.) I have yet to see such a detailed book (with good, solid evidence as opposed to preferred dogmatism) written in response to the growing body of historical evidence that Rohl and his staff of young investigators are busy compiling. This fact alone only raises more unsettling questions regarding the overall integrity of an Egyptian chronology that rests almost entirely and uncritically on a now lost document that dates back to several centuries before Christ. Rohl, via his own admission, is clearly outside the Christian faith...or any other faith. However, in terms of defending the historical integrity of scripture, he may well be the best friend any believer ever had. All the more, therefore, is the pity that OT scholars either have chosen to ignore him entirely...or (the more likely alternative) have never even heard of him. Hopefully...this will change in the very near future.

the garden was a real place, legends do have seeds of truth
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
very well researched and the use of multiple sources/ events used to lock in events and CHRONOLOGIES is done with a sense of going where the evidence leads, instead of trying to CREATE a narrative. it is amazing how the people and place names shift thru the various empires and then later, the legends. very interesting that the exodus event vanquishes egypt, the the hyksos/ indo europeans take over and loot upper egypt. I totally agree with shishak mistake and new chronology. I find it fascinating king Akhenaten and tut were contemporary with king david and soloman. very interesting read about etruscians/ rome and carthage being remnants of troy. I love history this was a very interesting read. but be prepared for a menagerie of languages and names.....

Time will tell.
Format: Paperback
The New Chronology, the unorthodox historical time frame upon which this book is based, may be regarded by Professor Kitchen and other expert scholars in this field as 'one hundred per cent rubbish' but that does not prevent this book from being a very interesting and enjoyable read. As to the correctness or otherwise of the theory advanced, only time will tell.
