Ficus leaves come in all sizes from really small leaves on Ficus pumila/repens at less than 1 inch to giant 3 foot leaves on Ficus dammaropsis. The photo above shows Ficus dammaropsis at the San Diego Botanical Gardens. It is a great place to study trees and to enjoy the delightful walks around the extensive grounds. There are even places for children to learn and explore the wonderful world of plants and nature. One of the most intriguing exhibits is the concrete replica banyan tree.
