 Ficus obliqua is a tree , which may reach 15 – 60 m ( 49 – 197 ft ) in height with a similar crown width . It has smooth thin grey bark with lighter @-@ coloured lenticels , and a buttressed trunk , which may reach 3 m ( 9 @.@ 8 ft ) in diameter . The glossy green leaves are elliptic to oblong in shape and measure 5 – 8 cm ( 2 @.@ 0 – 3 @.@ 1 in ) long by 2 – 3 @.@ 5 cm ( 0 @.@ 79 – 1 @.@ 38 in ) wide on 1 – 2 cm ( 0 @.@ 39 – 0 @.@ 79 in ) petioles . They are alternately arranged on the stems . Growing in pairs , the round yellow fruit turn orange or orange @-@ red dotted with darker red and reaches a diameter of 6 to 10 mm ( 0 @.@ 24 to 0 @.@ 39 in ) upon ripening over April to July , although fruit can appear at other times of year . As is the case with all figs , the fruit is an inverted inflorescence known as a syconium , with tiny flowers arising from the inner surface . Ficus obliqua is monoecious — both male and female flowers are produced by the same plant , and in fact in the same fruit . Within any given fruit , female flowers mature several weeks before the male flowers .
