Strangler Fig

As seen from yesterday's photo, the Strangler Fig will plant itself in a live tree and then send roots around the tree. It will crowd out the resources available to the host tree, eventually causing it to die.

It is sad but does look beautiful even though the tree is being throttled by the vine.
