Re: Monterey Ficus

Hey Jason -

I wondered if it might be F macrophylla, but the lack of copious aerial roots threw me off. Perhaps some trees do this more than others, or under some conditions more than others? I've seen a lot of F. macrophylla in Italy, but then in much warmer regions than Monterey!

Barry - I certainly agree that whatever it is, this specimen is quite beautiful. My wife and I enjoyed checking it out during a visit (we stumbled upon it quite by accident!).

I'd posted a question a while back about a mystery tree which I wasn't quite sure if it was a ficus or not because I hadn't gotten close enough to investigate. Well, I took a good look and here are some photos.Â

It's not an easy tree to investigate well because the garden it sits in is behind locked gates but it's very close to the gate I was able to get these photos.


Thank you,

BarryÂ
