Origin
The Ficus macrophylla, also known as the Moreton Bay Fig, originates from the eastern part of Australia. The species is named after Moreton Bay in Queensland, although the species is widespread along the Australian coast from the northern region of Queensland to the Illawarra in New South Wales.

Characteristics
The Ficus macrophylla is a massive, evergreen tree, known for its impressive size and extensive root system. The leaves are thick, glossy, and dark green, up to 30 centimetres long. The tree produces small, edible fruits that attract native fauna. A distinctive characteristic of this species is its ability to develop an 'aerial root' system, where roots grow from the branches to the ground and eventually act as additional trunks.

Care
Although the Ficus macrophylla can tolerate some cold, it thrives best in warmer climates with plenty of sunlight. It requires ample space, both above and below ground, due to its size and the extensive root system. Rich, well-drained soil is important for the health of the tree. When irrigating, it's crucial to let the soil dry out somewhat between each watering.
