Description: Skukuza indigenous nursery, Kruger National Park, South Africa SANPARKS Ficus burkei [=Ficus thonningii]. SA no. 48 Eng. Common wild fig. Afr. Gewone wildevy. A medium to large spreading tree, growing up to 18 m in height. It is briefly deciduous and can either grow as a terrestrial tree or as a strangler on other trees. It occurs in woodland, wooded grassland, on rocky hillsides, often on termite mounds and along the edges of slightly damper areas. Produces small edible figs along the branches which are usually hairy and green, ripening to a pink to yellowish colour. Figs can be found on some trees most times of the year. The latex of this fig is often tapped to make bird-lime. This fig is moderately frost resistant and is cultivated for shade and to attract birds to the garden. A worthwhile and rewarding garden subject. Date: 15 August 2014, 10:23. Source: Skukuza indigenous nursery, Kruger National Park, South Africa. Author: flowcomm.
