On the sign:

פיקוס בנגלי – שרשים באויר
אפל ואפרפָּר על רקע השמים
פָּשְׁטָה מלכות צלליו של פיקוס רב עָנָף
הוא נם דומם, דמומה אמת המים
וְעֶרֶב מרטט כְּעֵדֶר עֲנָנָיו .
(חיים גורי)

Ficus bengalensis - roots in the air
Have you ever really wondered
When you looked at an age old tree
How many different changes
It could tell- If it could see?

How many glorious sunrises
How many sellings suns
If only it could tell us
We might know from whence we come.
(Ron Nicely).

Translation of the text on the sign:
Bengal ficus - roots in the air
Dark and gray against the background of the sky
The majesty of the shadows of a multi-branched ficus has spread
He is still, the aqueduct is still
And the evening vibrates like a flock of clouds.
(Haim Guri)
