A tropical evergreen tree, over 20m high in its native range, with widely spreading branches and aerial roots that often hang down to the ground, forming secondary trunks. Leaves are oval-shaped and leathery, flushed bronze when young, and dark green with paler veins when mature. Small, round figs are borne in pairs and ripen to bright red, though these are never pollinated outside the native range. Cuttings and young plants of this species are sometimes grown as houseplants
