[SOLVED] Ficus- possilby microcarpa var. hilli

Post by Jamie »

hey guys :D

i collected a whole heap of seeds today, i have the pic of the leaves, the trunk is a very light grey near white and smooth. leaf size is average 50mm long and about 20mm wide, thats on a full size tree. its fruit is a yellow to start with then goes to a fermented brown colour.

closest match i could get out of leongs book is F. microcarpa var. kimman or possibly hilli

hi james,

definately not a QLD small leaf, which is either/or Ficus obliqua/eugonoides. it is most likely Ficus microcarpa var. hilli. i have had confirmation of that so i can lock of the post!
