Ficus amadiensis

An African fig of the Congo basin margins and East African highlands, recorded from Cameroon to Kenya, Tanzania and Malawi. Little has been published beyond floras, so these conditions come from the measured sites (mostly 1150–1700 m) and general knowledge of African forest figs. Expect a warm-day, mild-night tree with a clear dry season.
