Ficus fresnoensis
A fig tree found only in Colombia, known from the northern Andes around Tolima and Caldas, where it grows in lowland and montane rainforest. At home it is grown as a potted tree that wants bright light, steady warmth, and cooler nights than a lowland fig would get.
Where it grows wild
A tree of humid lowland and montane rainforest on the slopes of the Colombian Andes, including the Magdalena valley side. Like other figs it relies on agaonid fig wasps for pollination, and birds disperse its fruit. Nothing we found says whether it starts life as a hemiepiphyte, as many Ficus do, so treat it as a terrestrial tree.
Wikipedia gives 100 to 2,100 m. The 19 wild GBIF records span 670 to 1,800 m, with a median of 1,490 m: this is mainly a premontane, mid-elevation plant.
