Where the perfection of the spiral meets the elegance of Amstel King:
The Ficus Amstel King Spiral is the result of a perfect union between two elements of extraordinary beauty: the sculptural form of the spiral and the large, pendulous, lanceolate leaves of Amstel King. The spiral-trained trunk, patiently shaped over the years through the expert guidance of growers, creates a vertical axis of geometric elegance that rises upward with rhythm and harmony. The large lanceolate leaves - up to 25-30 cm long - hang gracefully from the canopy, creating a visual contrast between the geometric rigidity of the spiral and the organic fluidity of the leaves that is simply irresistible.
