The bole becomes deeply buttressed as the tree grows older and can be 36 – 90cm in diameter.

In open, deciduous forest, common along river banks in lowlands.

Cluster fig is resistant to fire.

The fruit grows in clusters on short leafless branches from the trunk and main branches, it is not unusual to see clusters of fruit almost covering the trunk.
