Magnolia grandiflora - Southern Magnolia on the left and Ficus mysorensis - Mysore Fig on the right

I always thought M. grandiflora was big until i just saw that Ficus !!!

Its huge .....

Louise1:

Magnolia grandiflora grows very large...these trees are still young. Ficus trees however, do grow much larger...they are the true giants of the plants kingdom.

Mushybanna:

This Mysore fig is still a baby...probably 30 years old or so -- it still has another 300 to 600+ years to live. Many Ficus species are reported live more than 2,000 years...although, it's very difficult to document such a long-lived tree.
