Survival of the Fittest

In this case the survivor is the strangler fig and as you can see it has totally devoured the tree it has throttled.

A great collage Babs, nature can be cruel too 😉

[Helen Jane]

Looks like something out of a sci fi film. Who knew plants could be so vindictive. Hope the figs are good.

[Kitty Hawke]

Ohhh....how bizarre......never heard of this type of tree....looks a bit viscious.....:)

[Wylie]

Makes a nice pattern though !

[Dione Giorgio]

Makes nice patterns on the dead trunk. Sad for the tree that lost the battle.

[Lou Ann]

We have a vine here called Kudzu, it is a constant battle to keep it at bay, as it kills trees too.

[Beryl Lloyd]

What a shame that such a beautiful sight is the scene of the killer !

Wow! Poor tree

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Good shot- poor tree! We have several vines that will do the same to trees around here- but they don't look as pretty as the strangler fig.

[Pyrrhula]

Hope it`s not an Ivy. Great shot of the textures of the roots.
(There is a lift and fire escape stairs.. Hardly to see by the tree in front.)

[Jennifer Potter]

Very nice collage! Love the way the limbs tangle together.
