Ficus lyrata

Some pics of this african fig:

This is one of the biggest I know in my city.

And others:

Leaf detail:

In colder winters some leaves are damaged, but grow well in the climate of Málaga.

Great pics! Though typically few-branched in the US, they are still seldom seen here as such well-defined single-trunked trees.

This is a picture of one in this area. Malaga is one incredible spot. I am waiting for you to show your Coconuts!:

Thanks for the pic Bubba, this tree is very nice.

Beautiful tree! I think I'm intimidated by the diversity/number of trees in this genus and have put off learning to sort them out. Nice leaves.

Very nice photos - this species seems to have an uncharacteristic thin trunk for such a large crown. Bubbas photo is more well-proportioned.

Found another one. Still on the prowl:

Close-up on the leaves:

This is not the best but I am on the hunt.

Great photos, F. lyrata is one of my favorite Ficus.

Here is a large one at the Montgomery Botanic Center in Miami

and a giant growing at Cypress Gardens, the canopy was severely damaged in the 2004 hurricanes, this pic was taken in 2005

Those single trunked F. lyrata are something I'm not used to seeing. I've only seen one F. lyrata in my environs that has a single trunk, and I was surprised to see it. All of the F. lyrata trees I've seen around here exist only in lake front communities where freezes (that could major damage a F. lyrata) are infrequent.

I found this one growing a few miles east of Avon Park, Florida.

Ficus lyrata

This Ficus lyrata is growing in the Sun 'N' Lakes subdivision on the S.E. out skirts of Lake Placid, Florida. This subdivision (IMO, based on the amount and size of zone 10+ palms and plants growing there), is the warmest subdivision in Highlands County, Florida, due to it being situated on the east shore of Lake Grassy, with numerous canals running through the subdivision from the lake.
