Ficus kurzii
A banyan fig from mainland Southeast Asia, southern Yunnan and western Malesia, sometimes called the Burmese banyan and assessed by the IUCN as Least Concern. It grows into a large tree in wet, warm lowlands and foothills, so at home it is a bright-light, warm-room plant that needs big pots and pruning. Species-specific horticultural information is scarce, and most care advice here comes from the measured climate and general banyan-fig practice.
Where it grows wild
The sources we could open give no details of its habitat beyond its geographic range. The measured sites are warm, wet lowland and foothill forest landscapes; several Javan records lie in or near towns, where figs are commonly planted. As a banyan-type fig it grows as a canopy tree in full sun when mature. Whether it starts life as a hemi-epiphyte, as many banyans do, is not confirmed here.
Measured sites range from near sea level (about 30 m in Sumatra and 80-170 m in Java) to about 640-800 m in northern Sumatra and Thailand. Few records carry an elevation.
