Sandpaper Fig
CategoryThis small fig occurs along watercourses along the east coast of Australia. An attractive small tree with sandpapery leaves and edible fruit. Grows densely in full sun, less so in shade. Very good for stream bank stablilisation.
The small figs are a tasty bush food and the leaves were used by Indigenour Australians to finish off their wooden tool.

Customer Tips & Reviews Sandpaper Fig
Sandpaper Fig
I have Daley's Birds Eye.Fruit initially dropped off at green full size. But when after a small wild sandpaper fig in my yard started fruiting the Birds eye started to crop heavily and successfully. Maybe it needed pollination?

I have Daleys “birds eye” cultivar of F. coronata growing flat out in my greenhouse in Canberra. It is meant to produce large red figs. Each year it sets myriads of fruits, grows them to half-acorn size, then (around now in late February) starts dropping

I'd like to know if it's safe to transplant this fig. I've had for a few years and fruited but now needs to be moved to another garden; anything I should know about this?

Very hardy, beautiful little tree with delicious fruit. Grows nicely in sun or partial shade but not surprisingly, fruit from trees in full sun are sweeter. Fast grower in pots too.
