Ficus drupacea is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia and Northeast Australia. It is a strangler fig; it begins its life cycle as an epiphyte on a larger tree, which it eventually engulfs. Its distinctive features include dense, woolly pubescence, bright yellow to red fleshy fruit, and grayish white bark. It can reach heights of 10–30 meters (33–98 ft). It occurs in environments ranging from sea-level beachfront environments to montane forests, up to 1000 m (3281 ft).
