Figs Of Bangalore – RA – Ficus lyrata – Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree: 7 images.

Fiddle-Leaf Fig, a native of Tropical Africa, is a large evergreen tree often reaching 40 feet in nature.

They have large shiny, fiddle-shaped (or guitar-shaped) green leaves up to 15 inches long. Interestingly, this fig can also be grown as a house-plant in a pot. It can also grow as a free-standing tree on its own, growing up to 12-15 m tall. The leaves are variable in shape, but often with a broad apex and narrow middle, resembling a fiddle; they are up to 45 cm long and 30 cm broad, though usually smaller, with a leathery texture and a wavy margin.

The fruit is a green fig 2.5-3 cm diameter.

I have seen this only as Bonsai. It is nice to see this as fully grown tree

Very nice to see F.lyrata as a full grown tree..! I had it in a garden pot – but it did not survive long…

Fiddle Leaf Fig (Ficus lyrata)

Yes … you are right.
Similar looking mature leaves also belong to Terminalia bellerica (incidently photograph identified at Flowers of India is not T. bellerica, probably T. muelleri; T. bellerica is correctly identified at our website) and Madhuca longifolia (Mahua), both of whom, have thinner leaves and reddish young leaves (inflorescence is much different in two; Madhuca leaves have more than ten lateral pairs of veins, T. bellerica, only 5-6 pairs)

I doesn’t look obvious to me, as a visible leaf shows 6 veins only, but I will check it out in more detail. I appreciate that you bother to voice your doubts about the ID on FOI.

I think there is some confusion. The leaves of T. bellerica (Baheda) look much similar to Madhuca longifolia (Mahua), from which they can be diiferentiated on the basis of number of veins. In Madhuca leaves have
pointed tip, not in T. bellerica. In both leaves are in clusters at tips of branches, and reddish when young.
T. muelleri looks much similar to T. arjuna (Arjun) with much narrower leaves narrowed at both ends. I could differentiate them only when seen in fruits. Fruits of T. muelleri are without wings (and look similar to T.
bellerica -hence the confusion on Flowers of India website) whereas those of T. arjuna are clearly winged.
