Ficus lyrata, commonly known as the fiddle-leaf fig, is a species of flowering plant in the mulberry and fig family Moraceae. It is native to western Africa, from Cameroon west to Sierra Leone, where it grows in lowland tropical rainforest. It can grow up to 39–49 ft tall.
Ficus lyrata leaves are lyrate, meaning that they resemble a lyre.
The leaves are variable in shape, but often with a broad apex and narrow middle, resembling a lyre or fiddle; they are up to 18 in long and 12 in broad, though usually smaller, with a leathery texture, prominent veins and a wavy margin.
The fruit is a green fig 1-¼ in diameter.

Fiddle Leaf Fig
Came neatly packaged. Some yellowing on leaves but quickly greener upon getting light. Relatively large plant, some tearing on leaves but no complaints because the tree will grow quick!
