Fruits

Ficus hispida is a small but well distributed species of tropical fig tree. It occurs in many parts of Asia and as far south east as Australia.[1][2] There is a large variety of local common names. Like a number of ficus, the leaves are sandpapery to touch. An unusual feature is the figs which hang on long stems. In Australia the fruit are eaten by cassowaries and double-eyed fig parrots.
