Wrapped

As we walked in a different direction yesterday due to the car park being full we walked under the huge fur trees. I was amazed to see the tree trunks were wrapped in ivy climbing up the huge tree. Some of the trees are completely covered with the air roots and others with the green ivy. It's a wonder they do not throttle the life from the tree.

I think the ivy does eventually starve the tree. Neat shot though

I’ve always thought ivy could kill a tree. Makes for a wonderful photo though.

What a covering! I always rip ivy off trees, it steals all their nutrients and kills them off.

That Ivy needs cutting at the bottom…poor tree! Great view up the trunk though.

So interesting! I wonder if they are symbiotic or it's going to kill the poor tree?

It's amazing how they just take over a tree like that

[Lois]

Amazing how ivy takes over the whole tree!
