Ficus is a genus of about 850 species of woody trees, shrubs, vines, epiphytes and hemiepiphytes in the family Moraceae. Collectively known as fig trees or figs, they are native throughout the tropics with a few species extending into the semi-warm temperate zone. The common fig (F. carica) is a temperate species native to southwest Asia and the Mediterranean region (from Afghanistan to Portugal), which has been widely cultivated from ancient times for its fruit, also referred to as figs. The fruit of most other species are also edible though they are usually of only local economic importance or eaten as bushfood. However, they are extremely important food resources for wildlife. Figs are also of considerable cultural importance throughout the tropics, both as objects of worship and for their many practical uses. A sycamore can grow to massive proportions, typically reaching up to 30 to 40 m (98 to 131 ft) high and 1.5 to 2 m (4.9 to 6.6 ft) in diameter when grown in deep soils. The largest of the species have been measured to 51 m (167 ft), and nearly 4 m (13 ft) in diameter. Larger specimens were recorded in historical times. In 1744, a Shenandoah Valley settler named Joseph Hampton and two sons lived for most of the year in a hollow sycamore in what is now Clarke County, Virginia. In 1770, at Point Pleasant, Virginia (now in West Virginia) near the junction of the Kanawha and Ohio Rivers, George Washington recorded in his journal a sycamore measuring 13.67 m (44 ft 10 in) in circumference at 91 cm (3 ft) from the ground. Wildevyebome kom oral in die wêreld voor, Amerika, Europa en Afrika. Ficus (vyebome) is 'n genus wat behoort tot die familie Moraceae. Hierdie genus sluit al die inheemse vyebome in. Dit sluit ook die ingevoerde gekweekte vy Ficus carica in. Dié vy is afkomstig van die Middellandse See. Al die spesies van hierdie genus gee 'n melkerige sap af wanneer 'n blaar of vy gepluk word. Almal dra eetbare vrugte alhoewel dit kleiner en droër is as die gekweekte vy. Die vy is eintlik glad nie 'n vrug nie. 'n Vyeboom se blomme groei in werklikheid aan die binnewand van die vy.
