This tree, indigenous to Tropical America, tends to stay
under 40' here in South Florida, so makes an attractive, medium-sized tree
with a slightly columnar growth habit. |
 |
|
|
It is considered to be a "keystone
species," being an important food source for fruit-eating mammals,
such as bats and howler monkeys. |
|
Nobody will make fun of you, if they see you in the
backyard, hanging by your tail and grabbing at the fruits. |
|
 |
With its small leaves and fruits that hang on
the tree until they dry up and blow away, West Indian Laurel Fig is not
considered to be invasive or overly messy, especially when compared to
other Ficus trees. |
