These trees grow naturally in several countries, including Saudi Arabia, where they are mainly concentrated in the southwestern regions of the country, especially in areas with a relatively humid climate.</p><ul style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Places where the ficus tree is spread</strong></h3></li></ul><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Al-Masnad pointed out that the Sarawat Mountains, especially the regions of Tihama, Asir, and Jazan, are considered the main locations where the ficus trees can be found. These trees are considered perennial, as their ages can reach hundreds of years, and there are reports that some trees have exceeded 500 years.</p><ul style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Characteristics of the ficus tree</strong></h3></li></ul><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Al-Masnad added that the ficus trees can reach heights ranging from 15 to 30 meters, and sometimes more in exceptional cases. The diameter of the tree trunk can also reach several meters, making it one of the largest trees in the region.</p><ul style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Benefits and Challenges</strong></h3></li></ul><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The ficus tree is characterized by its large size and dense leaves that provide a wide shade that protects from the heat of the sun, making it a favorite place to rest on hot days. However, due to the large size of its roots, it may cause damage to sidewalks and nearby facilities, as the roots extend long distances in search of water. Therefore, it is preferable to plant it in large squares, farms and valleys.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> See also:</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D9%87%D8%B0%D9%87-%D8%A7%D9%84... country exempts Saudis from entry visa starting next October</a></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D8%B9%D9%88%...
