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.

Whimsy fabric. Finished Aug 2010
This was taken with my old iphone before I had a fancy-shmancy camera. Terrible pic but gorgeous quilt! Made from a pattern in one of the Jelly Roll pattern books. I can't remember now but will look it up if anyone is interested. Send me FM.

jack with insane austrailian fig tree. apparently u plant it it in the upper branches of any tree and it grows downwards until it strangles the plant at the roots. pretty cool
I recently started a quilt for our bed. I'll be lucky to be finished by next Christmas. For this Christmas, I made pillowcases to match the quilt using this tutorial.

I was in Vanuatu for two weeks with a group from my Church. Turns out the beaches are just as nice as the locals.
Der Sommer 2017 war für die Feigenbäume zumindest in Mainz nicht ideal, denn die Vollreife wurde nicht erreicht.
Nach Angaben von Pfalz.Marketing wachsen im mediterranen Klima der Pfalz etwa 50.000 Feigenbäume und –sträucher, so viele wie nirgendwo sonst in Deutschland. Schätzungen zufolge werden jährlich etwa 80.000 Kilo Feigen geerntet. Die Früchte werden allerdings ausschließlich von der heimischen Gastronomie verarbeitet oder von Privatleuten verzehrt. Einen Handel im größeren Stil gibt es ebenso wenig wie einen erwerbsmäßigen Anbau.
Seeing a fig tree reminded me of one of Fannie Flagg's books, "Can't Wait to Get to Heaven." The main character falls off a ladder when picking figs. It's a good, lighthearted read.

Cut Against Their Will -
Using a different route to enter the forest, I passed a tall Banyan tree and a figure darts behind the curtain of aerial roots. Blame it on my prying nature, I went to investigate and a man was at the back hacking with his cleaver. He saw me approaching and quickly put the blade back in a plastic bag. I asked politely what he was doing and he replied in halting English, the infusion of bark shavings is good for preventing gum disease. In his homeland he adds, the astringent secretion strengthens the teeth and they also chew the bark strips. I stare at the gaping wound, it looked sore without the skin. I advise the man there are alternative ways to maintain oral health but it is hard, because traditional practices are deep-rooted. What would you do if you see someone engraving a tree?
