The Mugumo Tree, also known as the fig tree or Ficus macrophylla, is a large, evergreen tree native to East Africa. It is known for its impressive size, often reaching heights of up to 60 meters. The tree has a broad, spreading canopy and distinctive aerial roots that can grow down from its branches into the ground. Mugumo trees hold cultural significance for the Kikuyu people of Kenya, who consider them sacred. They are often associated with traditional rituals and are seen as symbols of strength and resilience. The tree's fruit is also a food source for various wildlife, including birds and monkeys.
