The leaves are oblong-ovate, typically 7-12 cm long and 3-5 cm wide. The underside of the leaves is where the magic happens \u2013 they&#8217;re densely covered with short, orangish-brown hairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The real star of the show, though, is the fruit. Ficus Pumila var. Awkeotsang produces cylindrical figs, measuring around 6-8 cm long and 3-4 cm wide. These figs are covered in hairs and have a unique characteristic \u2013 they&#8217;re inedible in their raw state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But wait, there&#8217;s more!
