Although widespread & thoroughly domiciled in England, it is not a native tree, but was introduced some centuries ago from Europe. In their ignorance our ancestors imagined the great Maple to be this fig tree because of a fancied similarity between the leaves. It grows to a large size with a spreading rounded crown. The bark is light grey, smooth in young trees, but later scaling off in rounded flakes.
