Young seedlings growing well from the seeds obtained from female Cuming's fruits. The small leaves are already showing signs of hairs. This is one of several fig species we are growing in our nursery for reforestation projects.

Ficus cumingii is a common fig species from Philippines which have successfully arrived the east coast of Sabah, Borneo and slowly becoming abundant in the urban areas. This species is unique where it has some leaves that are growing opposite to each other which is unlike all the other fig species. Leaves are are very rough with tiny hard hairs.
