Japanese Sea Fig Tree

This giant tree is growing near Misaki Port. The tree is 18-meters tall and 14-meters around and is estimated to be 600 years old. A key trait is its countless aerial roots. These, somewhat resembling octopus tentacles, has led to the tree sometimes being called the Octopus Tree. Being the northernmost example of the subtropical Moraceae plant family it was designated as Shikoku's first natural monument. With its overwhelming size and thick powerful roots entangled with a stone wall you can feel the power of nature. This famous tree has also appeared in television commercials.
