Ficus erecta (syn. Ficus beecheyana), the Japanese fig, is a species of flowering plant in the family Moraceae.[3] It is found in the eastern Himalayas, Assam, Bangladesh, Vietnam, southern China, Taiwan, Jeju Island of South Korea, the Ryukyu Islands, and Japan.[2] A deciduous (or semideciduous) shrub or small tree from 2 to 7 m (7 to 23 ft) in height, it is found alongside streams.[4] Said to be dioecious, it has small fruit that are 1.0 to 2.5 cm (0.4 to 1.0 in) in diameter, and quite sweet.[4][5]
Uses[edit]
The fruit are eaten by local peoples. Its bark fibers can be used to make paper, and it is occasionally planted as an ornamental.[4][5] It is highly resistant to Ceratocystis fimbriata, which causes Ceratocystis canker in the common fig Ficus carica, so its genome has been sequenced.[6]
