大葉榕

Ten Woods, Ten Stories

-         Big Leaf Fig (Ficus virens var. sublanceolata)

大葉榕是棵大樹,有龐大的根部系統,而這些根是突出在泥面上的.大葉榕在香港相當普遍,稍為留意便知道它的特性.留意一些受損的大葉榕,不難發覺它種在狹窄的空間內,或者是修整路面是將根部削平了.

Big Leaf Fig is a large tree with enormous root system.  These roots are prominent on soil surface.  It is very common in Hong Kong and if you just pay a little more attention, you will notice its features.  Also you look at some damaged Big Leaf Fig, you will easily notice that they are either planted in a narrow space or the roots are being pared off during roadwork.
