Ficus henneana is a strangler fig only occurring in Australia. The cedar fig or deciduous fig grows in Australia from Milton, New South Wales to northern Queensland and the Northern Territory. The habitat is riverine, littoral or the drier forms of rainforest. The fruit is considered edible for humans, but it is not particularly palatable. It was previously considered a variety of Ficus superba which occurs in China, Japan and parts of South East Asia.
