Sea Fig Tree

  • Common Name: Sea Fig
  • Place to observe: beside Canteen B bus stop
  • When to observe: May~June, Sep~Oct
  • What to observe: young leaves and friuts
  • Why observe: The sea fig bears fruits twice a year. Before bearing fruits, it sheds off all its leaves and comes out with the new ones in only a few days. As you can see from the pictures below, it bears the fruits on its branches. These fruits are first green and then pink. When looked against the sunlight, it seems like corals in the sea. I guess,that's why it gets the name sea fig.
