Ficus microcarpa (F. retusa, nitida) - Indian Laurel

I've just looked up Sausage Tree!
The fruits really do look like sausages.
Apparently its flowers bloom at night and are pollinated by bats and insects.
Please correct me if I have any of this wrong.
It's fascinating. :o)

PS. Do you please have more pictures of the Sausage Tree?
Maybe with the sausage fruits on it?
Thanks.

Terratoonie:

There are several sausage trees in San Diego, CA, although still not common. It does bloom at night or on cloudy days. The flowers are red/black. They do bear long sausage-like fruit. I'll post more pictures I have of this tree.

Thanks. Can't wait to see the sausages and flowers.

I think it's native to extreme northern Australian. You want to look up Ficus microcarpa.

Here's a link:

I have several pics of Sausage trees. I planted some seeds last summer...now I have a couple of seedlings.

Another beautiful shape like fluffy clouds.

Yes, it can have a beautiful shape!

The shapere minds me simular to the English Oak tree.

Many Banyan trees grow much larger than Oak trees. They can 150 to 200 ft high and cover acres.

Yes I have seen them on a tv program about India how big they can grow.

Yes, it still amazes me how gigantic these trees can grow.

I can imagine I bet they are a sight to see in reality from a photo.

Yes, a photo can't do them justice.

Which is a shame really .

Yes, it is. It's because these trees have a huge circumference.

Yes I ve alwsys known as bug as a trees canopy that how big the roots are.
