	~~Describe~~ the ~~plant here~~...		'''''Ficus sycomorus''''', called the '''sycamore fig''' or the '''fig-mulberry''' (due to the leaves' resemblance to those of the [[Mulberry]]), '''sycamore''', or '''sycomore''', is a [[ficus\|fig]] species that has been cultivated since early times. (Note that the name [[sycamore]] has been used for a variety of plants.) In its native habitat, the tree is usually found in rich soils along rivers, but also in mixed woodlands.

			''Ficus sycomorus'' grows to 20 m tall and 6 m wide with a dense round crown of spreading branches. The [[leaf\|leaves]] are heart-shaped with a round apex, 14 cm long by 10 cm wide, and arranged spirally around the twig. They are dark green above and lighter with prominent yellow veins below, and both surfaces are rough to the touch. The petiole is 0.5–3 cm long and pubescent. The [[fruit]] is a large edible fig, 2–3 cm in diameter, ripening from buff-green to yellow or red. They are borne in thick clusters on long branchlets or the leaf axil. Flowering and fruiting occurs year-round, peaking from July to December. The [[bark]] is green-yellow to orange and exfoliates in papery strips to reveal the yellow inner bark. Like all other figs, it contains a [[latex]].
