This is the ficus I have been searching for. Does anyone know of any retail source for F. sycomorus?

These trees can get giant. I saw some in the habitat at Krugar National Park. Their bark is sort of papery and fuzzy, and they can get trunks in the wild up to 5 feet in diameter, with giant butresss roots. They have them all over a resort called Letaba.
