said to the fig tree mentioned in the Hebrew Scriptures have nothing to do with the tree Arabi which is a kind of platan tree. Ara-forest is apparently the same as the "fig-mulberry tree" in Luke 19: 4. The fruit of this tree (Ficus sycomorus) is similar to the usual figs, but the leaves resemble the leaves of mulberry. The high tree reaching 10 to 15 m, and is a staunch trees and many people found this tree of life can be up to several hundred years. Unlike the usual fig, fig-forest (fig-mulberry) tree whose leaves are always green. Despite the heart-shaped leaves are smaller than fig leaves, branches, leafy and widespread that the tree be a good shelter.

This strengthening of the posts that have been ago
The scientific name of this fruit Ficus glomerata. in the Acehnese language known as Ara Boh '. At first glance, this fruit is similar to fruit Tin Arabia. of the shape and structure of its contents. But, this is more gummy fruit and skin / flesh thicker than the fig arabia I have ever eaten. The other is a different section shape of the tree.
Fruit segment has leaves like papaya and cassava leaves, while the leaves of fruit trees such as fig leaf, no section. Another difference fig fruit trees are usually large, while the fig tree arab diameter rods.
The fig tree that grows near rivers, have so many unique, both in terms of overall appearance and the appearance of the trunk, branches and twigs. The main stem hanging roots and sometimes issuing from the trunk can appear edible fruit.

and those of us who like fishing. This fig tree into a location marker fish. as well as his I also use as fishing bait. Types of fish that like figs in my experience adal catfish, catfish, salmon.

figs in Aceh is also used as traditional medicine.
Figs are also believed to cure diabetes, arthritis, asthma, bronchitis, dry cough, hemoptipis, menorrhagia and whitish, kidney and spleen, nosebleeds and reduce flatulence.
That is an interesting wild fig! The leaves are different that the figs that grow here in Oregon's Willamette Valley. They have leaves that have deep indentations in the leaves. So I am glad that you showed the fruits that are cut in half. They are so clearly a true fig, with all those seeds inside the fruit like that. They sure are productive trees! I can see why the fish would come to the fruit that drop into the water. Enjoy your figs! :D
