Ficus semicordata, commonly known as the drooping fig, is a small to medium-sized fodder tree of genus Ficus. It is native to subtropical and tropical Asia, ranging from northern Pakistan through the Himalayas of India, Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet to Indochina (Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam), southern China, and Peninsular Malaysia. It bears edible fruit. The figs on the lower part of the leafless branches may develop in leaf litter and humus, and be buried in the surface of the soil, where the seeds germinate. Otherwise birds and other animals distribute the seeds.
Ficus semicordata is dioecious, with male and female flowers produced on separate individuals.
