Port Jackson Fig (Ficus rubiginosa) Aerial Roots

Most of this vegetation is indigenous, despite being in the middle of a city of over 5 million people.

Great to see indigenous fig trees and Coachwood in North Sydney today. Port Jackson figs at Port Jackson.

Nearby are planted non-indigenous conifers; Hoop Pine at 40 and Cooks Pine at 48 metres tall.

Despite the poor soils, this area is practically fire free, and rainforest plants are well suited.

A feature of this area is the long descending aerial roots and the spectacular floral display of the Coachwood, cream flowers without petals.
