  • Notes: M. figo 'Port Wine' is an astounding garden plant and bonsai candidate. The lustrous, medium to small foliage totally pushes my buttons and has a slightly tropical look to it that fits in well in temperate gardens. The flowers are in scale with the foliage; they're not huge, but are quite visible when present and have a massive olfactory impact. Their sweet, banana scent wafts far and wide throughout the garden and neighborhood.
  • Uses: Bonsai, fragrant garden shrub to plant near windows and paths so the scent can be enjoyed, screening.
