Target Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree

Pottery Barn Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree

The fiddle leaf fig tree has reached its level of ubiquity in decor. This morning, while reading my favorite Friday Wall Street Journal section, Mansion, I spotted the plant move about in the photos of a feature about Jane Fonda’s newly purchased townhome in LA.  It felt like a Where’s Waldo game. I will admit, it does give a great shot of green and depth to any room. I do believe it will date the room one day, similar to the spider ferns hanging from baskets in the 1970’s.  The are available in an array of price levels but still aren’t cheap at the low end. I don’t have one, but I think I may one day soon.
