I've seen some HUGE ficus trees but never one that fruited....but of course
figs are members of the ficus family, yes?

(do I have that right?)

Yes the fig is in the ficus family. Many ficus species do produce fruits, all of which are edible, but many of which are not palatable. I've seen a ficus here at a park like yours, but forget the species name right now. If you open up one of the fruits and take photo of it cut in half can tell for sure if it's a ficus.

Something like Ficus nota http://www.botany.hawaii.edu/herbarium/digitallib/collections/hlaplants/pdfs/Mor_Ficus_nota_w.pdf

I think Oscar hit it right.  While I am unfamiliar with this particular type, the fruit and leaf definitely looks like ficus.

Looks exactly like the fruit in the link that BMc provided!  Turns yellowish when ripe.  Propagate by seed, cuttings, air-layering?  Old tree, tall and storm damaged.  Mixed in with the tamarinds, java plums, carambola and martin sapodilla.  Thanks for the ID on this tree.  Would like to salvage this one, very interesting to see how the fruit just grows out of the trunk on pedicles.

The Kampong, in Coconut Grove, has  a Ficus or two that clusters fruit like that.

Hi,

I think that fig tree is called Sycamore fig-Ficus Sycamorus, Native to Africa! Not sure!!!

[DuncanYoung]

Thanks all!  I will keep an eye on these fruit as they ripen.  Will post more photos.
