  • Ficus Microcarpa Chinese Banyan Moraceae
    Ficus microcarpa Chinese banyan Moraceae Forest Starr, Kim Starr, and Lloyd Loope United States Geological Survey--Biological Resources Division Haleakala Field Station, Maui, Hawai'i January, 2003 OVERVIEW Ficus microcarpa is a popular ornamental tree grown widely in many tropical regions of the world. The pollinator wasp has been introduced to a number of places where the tree is cultivated, including Hawai'i, allowing this species to spread beyond initial plantings. F. microcarpa is a notorious invader in Hawai'i, Florida, Bermuda, and from Central to South America. Tiny seeds within small sized fruit are ingested by many fruit eating animals, such as birds. Seeds are capable of germinating and growing almost anywhere they land, even in cracks in concrete or in the crotch of other trees. The small seedling begins to grow on its host, sending down aerial roots, and eventually strangling and replacing the host tree or structure. In Hawai'i, most of the main islands are infested with F. microcarpa. Typically, this species invades disturbed urban sites to degraded secondary forests in areas nearby initial plantings. It has recently been observed growing on native wiliwili (Erythrina sandwicense) in lowland dry forests of Maui. On the main islands of Hawai'i, rapid containment once inside natural area boundaries may be the only feasible action, given the widespread distribution. On Midway Atoll, the wasp was introduced later than on the main islands and, as a result, F. microcarpa has only recently begun to spread there. With limited distribution, control here seems more feasible than on the main islands. To decrease the potential for this species to spread, it should not be introduced to new areas and could be removed in natural areas where it is limited in distribution.

  • New Pests of Landscape Ficus in California
    FARM ADVISORS New Pests of Landscape Ficus in California Donald R. Hodel, Environmental Horticulturist, University of California Cooperative Extension Ficus, especially F. microcarpa (Chinese banyan, sometime incorrectly called F. nitida or F. retusa) and to a lesser extent F. benjamina (weeping fig), are important components of California’s urban landscape. Indeed, F. microcarpa is one of the more common street and park trees in southern California and many urban streets are lined with fine, old, handsome specimens. An especially tough tree able to withstand adverse conditions and neglect and still provide expected benefits and amenities, F. microcarpa is a dependable landscape subject from the Coachella Valley in the low desert to coastal regions, from San Diego to as far north as the Bay Area, where it is much prized and planted for its glossy dark green foliage, vigorous growth, and adaptability to a wide range of conditions. Nonetheless, Ficus microcarpa is a host of numerous pests, including the well known Indian laurel thrips and the leaf gall wasp, and several scale and Fig. 1. As the name implies, the Ficus leaf-rolling psyllid causes new leaves to roll mealybugs, which have been attacking these trees for many years. tightly inward completely or partially from one or both margins. Recently, several new pests have arrived on the scene and all are mostly attacking F. microcarpa. Here I provide a brief summary of these recent arrivals and conclude with some potential management brown on older adults.

  • Ficus Microcarpa (Moraceae) Naturalized in Southern California, U
    42 Phytologia (Jan 5, 2016) 98(1) Ficus microcarpa (Moraceae) naturalized in Southern California, U. S. A.: Linking plant, pollinator, and suitable microhabitats to document the invasion process RICHARD E. RIEFNER, JR. Research Associate, Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden 1500 North College Avenue Claremont, California 91711-3157, U.S.A. [email protected] ABSTRACT Ficus microcarpa is native to temperate and tropical Asia, Australasia, and Pacific regions. It is a popular ornamental tree grown in many warm temperate, subtropical, and tropical regions of the world, where it is widely known to escape from cultivation. It is reported here as being naturalized in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Diego, and Ventura counties, southern California. The invasive spread of F. microcarpa follows the introduction of its host-specific pollinating wasp, Eupristina verticillata; E. verticillata was first reported for California in 1994 from Arcadia, Los Angeles County. The wasp introduction reunited the F. microcarpa host plant–E. verticillata obligate pollinator mutualism thereby enabling the reproduction and naturalization of both organisms in California. A map showing the current distribution of F. microcarpa, citation of voucher specimens, and photographic documentation are provided.

Ficus species occur primarily in subtropical and tropical regions around the world (Berg & Corner 2005). Members of the genus are treated within six subgenera based primarily on their differences in habit and inflorescence morphologies (Berg 2003), and species-specific wasp-dependent pollination syndromes (van Noort & Rasplus 2015).
