Pete and I walked through the Park today and we spotted three more trees in fruit: the Macaranga, the Red Leaf Fig (Ficus congesta) and the Native Cordyline. The fruits on all three are tiny, as they are on the Ficus obliqua, mentioned last time. By the way, that fruit was yellowish then but has now turned quite red. Pete says the cassowaries love it!
