The medlar fig is a rather small rubber tree species. It grows slowly and reaches a height of approx. 1 meter in the room. Its leaves are almost triangular and bluish green.
The eponymous specialty of this plant are its small, pea-sized fruits, which it gets at a young age. Unfortunately, these are not edible - but with their green to orange color they are very attractive.
