Strangler Fig at work. by robz

Strangler Fig at work.

He would be hundreds of years old. He would have started as a seed dropped in a bird dropping - and lodged in the branches of another rainforest tree. He puts down his roots, wraps them round the host tree and eventually kills it. The dead host rots away and a chimney format is left - the fig has won!!
that's quite something - very interesting. It must look quite magnificent.

@dkbarnett This is the first one I've seen with the path actually built through the middle of it. You walk in and can look right up the empty core and just see the sky above. Cheers Rob
