Description

Moreton Bay Fig (Ficus macrophylla).

A large fast-growing evergreen fig tree native to eastern Australia – it can reach 60m in height.

Has large attractive leaves, buttressed roots, and masses of purple figs in spring-summer. Whilst the figs are edible, they are not commonly consumed today as they contain a large number of seeds.

Whilst this tree will grow very large when planted in the ground, it also does well in a large pot – both outdoors and indoors in brightly lit spaces. Can also be used for bonsai.

Frost sensitive when young.

Current height approximately 1.2m above PB8 planter bag.

These plants are grown locally in Ngāmotu New Plymouth and have been donated to Heritage Taranaki to help support our mission of conserving our region’s unique heritage.
