A fig tree growing in Brisbane. These aerial prop roots add support for the large boughs, allowing the tree to keep spreading and eventually cover a large area.
This is some type of banyan fig -- either a "true" (Indian) banyan (Ficus benghalensis) or a Moreton Bay fig (Ficus macrophylla). I can't tell them apart.
The Arbour is visible in the background, on the far left.

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.

A rare photo of an elusive and endangered beanie boo. This particular species chose green-themed habitats despite failing to develop the necessary natural camouflage to protect itself from its natural predators: tiny children.

If you are in London, today is the first day of the The Times BFI 52nd London Film Festival, 15-30 October 2008. The FaNTaSTiC guys from Figtree used my photo originally posted here for the advertising campaign of the Festival - THANK YOU :-)

Glebe Rd, third palm from the Union St intersection. Looks like a fig tree growing OUT OF the palm tree's trunk.
While the thing looks kinda cool from a distance, my zoomed in shots are pretty scary. Those roots are wrapped very tight around the palm, and one large root seems to have simply driven itself right through the centre of the trunk...
