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).

[איור של עלי הפיקוס הבנגלי]

סמל קיבוץ עין גדי

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)
