Description
This image displays an Opposite Leaf Fig (Ficus hispida) in its natural habitat, heavily laden with ripe and ripening yellow-green figs. The fruits are borne directly on the main stems and branches, a characteristic known as cauliflory. This specimen is a vigorous plant, not cultivated as a bonsai, hence some bonsai-specific fields are estimated or marked as unknown.
