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.

These large and colourful doves often come and forage for figs in our tree, making their presence known with their deep, resonant "wollack-a-woo" call.

This one is a part of the nominate subspecies (P.m.magnificus), which is different from its northern cousins by its much larger size, growing to 45cm long. The nominate race is only found in sub-tropical forests from southern NSW to southern Queensland, and only feeds on fig and white cedar fruits, in comparison to the northern populations which have access to many different rainforest fruits. This specialized diet has lead to this populations decline, and it is now listed as Threatened in NSW.

Mockingbirds always look so austere. Strictly business.

Family : Moraceae

 

Central Queensland to Southern NSW.

Out in the open Ficus macrophylla has a relatively compact rounded crown but in rainforest situation it can reach an enormous size,up to 50m high and a stem diameter of up to 240cm. While it can be grown directly in the ground it often starts its life high up in the canopy gradually enmeshing the host as its roots follow the host tree to the ground.

It has glossy lustrous leaves and develops massive flanged and irregularly wide buttresses to support its huge volume in shallow, sometimes waterlogged, soils.

The fruit varies with maturity from green through orange to purple when ripe and is edible but quite dry to taste.The fruit can appear at any time but generally Feb-May.
