The Native Rock Fig often appears as a stunted green bush, growing on the side of rocky hills or outcrops, or near permanent water-holes. The main trunk and branches are thin and spindly. The green leaves are leathery. At various times during the year, depending upon rainfall, marble-sized fruit are produced. The fruit turn from yellow to reddish-black or brown when fully ripe and are very soft to touch. When split open, the fruit reveals a seeded centre similar to the cultivated fig. Like all figs, a dot of white sap appears when fruit or leaves are . . .
