Huge Strangler Fig Buttress
After the final vanquish of the supporting palm tree and the trunks absorption, the old, mature tropical Strangler Fig tree can become very majestic and very very big and spreading. This otherwise topheavy tree benefits from the well engineered butresses, keeping it stable in high winds. Also very noble and beautiful! Behold, the conqueror, surveying it's empire. The tree can become very noisy with the chatter of flocks of birds eating the fruit. This is NOT the fig tree of Fig Newton fame. This is a Killer Fig Tree. Compare to the youth in the prior image where the supporting palm tree remains alive.........for a while longer. This image is of the old veteran.
