This species resembles an overgrown Willowleaf Fig in leaf shape but is more like Weeping Fig in other respects. It is a considerably better plant, dropping very few leaves when moved. Very easy care, grow as you would weeping figs. The varieties such as 'Alii' and 'Amsten King' are better known than the species itself.
