Scott I'm almost 100% on this ID. I looked through so many sights & this one nailed it every time. Can you tell me what you think please?
I've added some new photos from the same tree Scott. Leaf size was about 15-18cm. Amazing how quickly the fruit ripens.
I think that may be it, it's really quite close. I'm going to return & get pics of a few more features. Thanks for your help Scott.
Leanne, I came across Ficus variegata which also occurs in your range. Here's the image I happened upon: http://www.flickr.com/photos/adaduitokla... What do you think?
Thanks :)
That sounds fun :-) Good luck.
Ok. I'm joining the local botanic gardens society. I'm sure I'll get some really useful info for P.N. from there :)
I'll have to re-check my ID too :-)
Yeh it is different isn't it. Thanks Scott. I'll cross that one off the list, problem is, there's so many of them! I'm going to return to this tree & get some more features. Thanks for your help mate :)
Leanne, I didn't call it F. racemosa because it looks so different than mine http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/105... Yours has fewer and larger clusters, but I don't know enough about the species to say...yet. :-)
Ficus racemosa? Anyone agree?
Thanks Scott. I'll search for an answer now I know I'm on the right track. Thanks
Yes, a Ficus sp., some species of fig.
