About

This small to medium-sized tree is recognised by its large, often lobed leaves, which can be quite striking. It produces distinctive figs in dense clusters directly from the trunk and older branches, offering an unusual visual appeal.

Where it works in Kilifi

An excellent choice for a specimen tree or as a provider of dappled shade in a medium to large garden, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soils. Its robust nature makes it suitable for coastal restoration projects and attracting local wildlife.

Growing notes

This species exhibits a medium to fast growth rate and, once established, is remarkably drought-tolerant, requiring minimal supplementary watering. It is a hardy tree well-suited to the Kilifi climate, flourishing without extensive care.
