Moreton Bay Fig Tree, Devonport, Auckland, New Zealand
New Zealand

The Moreton Bay fig is an evergreen tree that can reach heights of 60 m (200 ft). The trunk can be massive, with thick, prominent buttressing, and reach a diameter of 2.4 m (7.9 ft). The rough bark is grey-brown, and marked with various blemishes. It is monoecious: each tree bears functional male and female flowers. The leaves and branches bleed a milky sap if cut or broken. The figs are 2–2.5 cm (0.79–0.98 in) in diameter, turning from green to purple with lighter spots as they ripen; ripe fruit may be found year-round, although more abundant from February to May. Although edible, they are unpalatable and dry.

The characteristic "melting" appearance of the Moreton Bay fig is due to its habit of dropping aerial roots from its branches, which upon reaching the ground, thicken into supplementary trunks which help to support the weight of its crown. [Wikipedia]
