Ficus (Figs)

2 products

    The Ficus genus, commonly known as figs, offers valuable benefits to UK wildlife. Many species produce fruit that attracts birds, such as blackbirds and thrushes, providing a natural food source. The dense foliage of Ficus plants also offers shelter for small mammals and insects.

    Some varieties, like Ficus carica (the common fig), support pollinators. Their unique flowers develop into the fleshy fruits that wildlife enjoys. Planting Ficus in gardens can help sustain local ecosystems, particularly in urban areas where food sources are scarce.
