Giant Leaf Fig Tree Seeds

This is also known as Dahomey rubber tree. It has enormous spreading branches and usually grows about 50-60 feet tall and is grown for its ornamental appeal and as a shade tree.
The large, glossy green leaves have attractive, light veins. Ficus lutea is widespread over tropical and southern Africa and found in a variety of forests and woodlands from sea level to 1800 m. It is a very fast growing tree that makes an exceptional ornamental for warm temperate and tropical regions in USDA Zones 10 and above. Easily maintained as a potted plant by occasional grooming of the branches and aerial roots.
A tree of many uses in Africa, the tree is harvested from the wild for local use as a source of medicines, fibres, dyes, latex and potash. Plantations have been established in Florida and SE Asia for the production of latex, which is valued in the pharmaceutical industry. The fruits are edible and eaten in West Africa.
The latex can be used to make a good quality rubber, known as Dahomey rubber, which is where the name orignates.
It also is known for its abundance of fruits borne directly on the branches.
