I am a tropical fig tree producing clustered edible fruits directly on my trunk.

Native to India, Sri Lanka, and Southeast Asia.

Water weekly when young; drought-tolerant when mature.

Full sun to partial shade.

Thrives in 25–38°C; tolerates dry heat.

Plant in deep, well-drained loamy soil; spacing 8–10 meters apart.

Apply compost annually; minimal fertilization needed.

Botanical name: Ficus racemosa; Synonym: Ficus glomerata; Family: Moraceae.

Fruits are safe; latex may irritate skin.

High; large canopy and latex absorb pollutants.

Fruits rich in fiber and antioxidants; bark used in Ayurveda for diabetes, ulcers, and wounds.

Generally hardy; may attract wasps and ants due to fig pollination.

Can live 50–100 years; starts fruiting in 3–5 years; peak yield from year 10 onward.
