Ficus erecta (syn. Ficus beecheyana), the Japanese fig, is a species of flowering plant in the family Moraceae. It is found in the eastern Himalayas, Assam, Bangladesh, Vietnam, southern China, Taiwan, Jeju Island of South Korea, the Ryukyu Islands, and Japan. A deciduous (or semideciduous) shrub or small tree from 2 to 7 m (7 to 23 ft) in height, it is found alongside streams. Said to be dioecious, it has small fruit that are 1.0 to 2.5 cm (0.4 to 1.0 in) in diameter, and quite sweet.
Uses
The fruit are eaten by local peoples. Its bark fibers can be used to make paper, and it is occasionally planted as an ornamental. It is highly resistant to Ceratocystis fimbriata, which causes Ceratocystis canker in the common fig Ficus carica, so its genome has been sequenced.
