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.

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.

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.

We have a small fig tree in a large pot. Occasionally it yields figs, but this is the first that tasted the way it should.
