Toxic Components
- Weeping fig trees oxalates in all their parts: leaves, stems and sap. The sap, especially produces a reaction similar to a latex reaction. Breaking or cutting the weeping fig tree will release this latex-like sap, but like latex, it does not cause an allergic reaction in everyone. Particles from the leaves of weeping fig trees can become airborne and irritate the lungs of those with chronic lung ailments.
