Congratulations to KeithWood for FTF

The sycamore fig Ficus Sycamorus is native to the middle east and parts of Africa. Also called the common cluster fig is found in Kruger National Park. The number on the tree is 66. The name sycomorus came from the Greek Syca-Morus Which means Mulberry fig. The leaves are similar in shape to mulberry and the fruit looks very similar to the common fig, except its smaller.
The fruits grow on clusters attached to the bark. The fruit have a very sweet aroma. Taste is a different than the common fig, maybe a little sweeter. The fruit of the sycamore fig is not grown commercially. However, you may find fruits of the Sycamore fig selling in Israeli farm markets. The trees are not as cold hardy as the common fig Ficus Carica. They are usually grown in the warmer regions of the Middle east and Africa.
