This fig tree grows in the forests of tropical, central Africa, usually at lower altitudes next to streams or rivers, sometimes in rocky places, up to an altitude of 1800m. Westernmost it grows on the coasts of the Atlantic in Liberia, easternmost it reaches the Indian Ocean where Kenya and Tanzania meet.
From west to east, and north to south, it occurs in: Liberia, possibly parts of southeastern Guinea, southern Ivory Coast, S Ghana, S Togo, S Benin, S Nigeria, most of Cameroon except the northern panhandle, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Congo, possibly southernmost Chad, all of the CAR except the utmost NE, the entire DRC, the northern ¼ of Angola, possibly southernmost Sudan (Al Istiwa'iyah), Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, SW Kenya, all except a bit of SE Tanzania, N Zambia (northern North Western, Copperbelt, Luapula, Northern) and northernmost Malawi. In 2007 there was a new report of an isolated population of this subspecies from the Mount Namuli inselberg in the Zambezia Province in central Mozambique.
Origin: Cutting from a plant in the hallway of the Larenstein Agricultural College in Deventer.

It's leaves grow in whorls. The plant in the photo had not grown a single leaf in 1.5 years. It spent this summer outside, where the apical (7 leaves) and lateral buds (3 to 5 leaves) finally opened. It hasn't done anything since.

I have seen trees bear fruit now and then, even in office settings.

Makamba, southern Burundi.
