Ficus yoponensis Ficus yoponensis is a species of fig tree found in Central and South America. It can grow to heights of 40 - tall, having a trunk diameter of 1 m . The trunk is buttressed, light grey in colour and reasonably smooth. Its petioles are 1 - long, the stipules are straight and 3 - long. The leaves and stems are hairless. The leaves are 6 - long and 2.5 - wide, but larger in juveniles, being up to 28 cm long and 5 cm wide. The time at which they flower varies between individuals, but each tree tends to flower at a similar time each year. As in all figs, the flowers are enclosed inside the fig and can only be accessed by fig wasps, which enter to pollinate the flowers and lay their own eggs. The resulting fruit grows to 1.8 cm in diameter and turns from green to purple with maturity. On average in Panama, "F. yoponensis" produce a new flush of leaves every 20 weeks and flower every 25 weeks. The species is similar in appearance to "Ficus insipida" but has smaller leaves, stipules and fruits and only occurs in primary forest whereas "F. insipida" is also found in secondary forest.
