Ficus rumphii: this truly remarkable tree is hiding in plain sight behind a Sikh temple in West Los Angeles. The mythology is a priest brought a sprig from the Indian subcontinent and planted it in the 1950s. And voilà:

amazing “paper” and leaf:

Not even the redoubtable Leon (XOTX Tropico) has been able to propagate this plant. Seen with @Cindy AdairIMG_1001.thumb.jpeg.594a3ce0df87ba9284cb7c0fce199cb0.jpeg

 

… Well, I am sure it is obvious, I love ficus. However, they still trail  far behind palms. Does anyone happen to know where one could source F. rumphii? Until then, I’ll curtail my ficus posting, at least until I successfully acquire F. vasta!
