What kind of tree is it?

Ficus auriculata, or "nimaro" as it called by the local population, is an evergreen tree that grows up to 12 metres in height. The nimaro often has more than one trunk, with each of them reaching up to 15 cm in diameter. Nimaro fruits grow near the trunk – large figs that turn a striking red when they ripen. The tree is planted for these edible fruits and other medicinal uses. The nimaro grows exclusively in forests and valleys with high humidity, mainly in Southeast Asia and China, but also in most of Brazil.
