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
