Is the fruit of a creeping fig plant edible?

Apparently not:



Form: self-climbing vine with clinging rootlets; fine textured foliage when young

Seasonality: evergreen

Size: climbs 15-20ft up vertical walls (or higher)

Leaves: simple, heart-shaped, small when young; changes to larger, 2-4in long, oblong and leathery form when mature

Flowers: not significant, rare

Fruit: rarely seen; droopy small fig-like fruit, plum-sized; not edible
