Ficus subcordata THP#4 has now been recorded fruiting three times since a Ficus phenology study was initiated at Tawau Hills Park by NGO 1Stop Borneo in 2021.
The first occasion was at the end of August 2021, the second occasion in early September 2022 and more recently fruiting started mid- September 2023.
F. subcordata THP#4 is located just below a ridgetop near the site of a giant dipterocarp once considered to be the tallest rainforest tree in the world -but now overtaken by a taller dipterocarp located at Danum Valley in Sabah.
F. subcordata THP#4 is about 20 minutes walk from Tawau Hills Park HQ buildings, along the tallest tree trail.
