What to expect
This is a deciduous fruiting shrub or small tree with broad, deeply cut leaves that give it a lush, tropical feel. Over time, it develops a beautifully sculptural shape, making it just as valuable for its form as for its fruit.
In a favourable spot, it may produce sweet figs, adding to its appeal as both an ornamental and productive plant.
