How to Grow and Care for Roxburgh fig

Roxburgh fig is a robust plant that matures into either a large shrub or a small tree, with its height and width potentially reaching up to 25 feet (7.6 meters). Its most distinctive feature is the extraordinary size of its ova-shaped leaves, which can grow as large as 15 inches (38 centimeters) in diameter. The foliage initially emerges in a vivid coppery-red hue before transitioning to a lighter green as it matures. Notably, roxburgh fig bears large, rounded figs, about 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) wide and 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) tall, that intriguingly develop in groups directly on the trunk and larger branches, a characteristic known as cauliflory. These figs typically persist on the plant for extended periods.
