The coal is burning in the stove, and I wait for it to turn red. While I watch the sunset, I Iook up. The golden light in the fig tree tells me that this is the perfect time to relax.
This Christmas present was ready in time for Mom's birthday in January. Used a jolly roll of Fig Tree fabric.

More LORD HOWE ISLAND Galleries
Family : Moraceae
The arial roots of this massive buttressed Lord Howe Island endemic tree drop down to the ground and eventually become support trunks in their own right .
Reportedly the most cold tolerant of the figs,it is a massive speading tree but unlike Ficus Virens (The Northern Banyan) it has no discernable central origin.
It will grow up to 20 metres in height and from those I saw,a single tree can cover an area of something like 2 hectares with massive post like roots hanging down to the ground supporting the weighty spreading branches.
Usually it can be found associated with Howea forsteriana (Kentia Palm) in the lowland forests but can grow up to 500m on the sides of Mt Lidgbird and Mt Gower.
There are some good examples on the golf course.
The local birds such as the Lord Howe Currawong relish the ripe purple fruits.
This fig is far too big for planting anywhere where it cannot be given room to eventually spread.

A day of protest, police, chainsaws and woodchips sees nine Morteon Bay figtrees removed from Anzac Parade at the point where the cut and cover tunnel will intersect the busy arterial road.
Although discussion apparently got heated at times, the constable I chatted to indicated no problems during the day.
Lastours (Occitan: Las Tors) is a commune in the Aude department in southern France. Population in 2008, 165.
Lastours is located 12 km (7.5 mi) outside Carcassonne, in the valley of the Orbiel. There are four small castles each built on a large 300 m high rocky ridge. The castles were built to control the access to Montagne Noire and the Cabardes region. These are some of the few original Cathar castles left.

Ziva David heard the guys (the Lagotto Romagnolo dogs) talking about searching truffles on the roots of some trees and she wants to find them too. :-)))
Have a wonderful Saturday, my dear Flickr Friends!

Moreton Bay figtree in the Sydney botanical gardens. This is an adult version of the infant figtrees recently planted at Blaxland Park, near Homebush & the Sydney Olympic Park. It grows to a massive size and has impressive buttress roots. This one was probably planted in the mid to late 1800s. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ficus_macrophylla
There are also Port Jackson figtrees which look very similar.
Fig Tree Cave is off the beaten path south of Exmouth in the Cape Range. Fig Tree Cave is one amoung hundreds of caves throughout the Cape Range.

Thought I best try and get one or two of this massive tree, that is part of or in the grounds of the Fig Tree Hotel or Motel in Narrandera, NSW. I decided when I stayed there last October that it was too big for any of my gear, but wandered around the other side last Thursday morning and grabbed a few hand helds, nothing outstanding but a bit of a happy snap.
Little MOC or vignette. No elaborate construction, but lots o' flowers!! ^^
You can find a fig tree, a fuchsia bush, some daisies and dandelions, what was supposed to be lavender, but let's say they're violets! Plus some edible and non-edible mushrooms! And then there's all the wildlife!! Kinda wanna be there right now… !
