The Fig Tree seems to be feeding on that fence and good luck to anyone who has to forcefully remove it from the tree's grip. Front fence of the Brisbane (City) Botanic Gardens in Alice Street. Plus fast females flashing fleetingly, far left.
In the Okanagan Valley in BC, Canada it gets too cold to over winter figs without some protection. I read that you can bury them in the fall and stand them back up in the spring and they will do fine so that's what I have been doing for the last five years and it's working well.
This flowerpecker sticks to the forest canopy and is hard to find. Every two years this small figtree has fruit in May and the flowerpeckers cannot resist.

The Giant Curtain Fig Tree is a heritage listed tree and a must see for anyone who visits the Atherton Tablelands in Far North Queensland.
It is spectacular with the extensive aerial roots, that drop 15 metres to the forest floor, forming a ‘curtain’. "Starting from a seed dropped high in the canopy, this strangler fig grew vertical roots, which gradually became thicker and interwoven. Over hundreds of years these roots have strangled the host causing it to fall into a neighbouring tree-a stage unique to the development of this fig".
The tree is thought to be nearly 50 metres tall, with a trunk circumference of 39 metres, and is estimated to be over 500 years old.
I stood in front of this tree on our honeymoon, 37 years ago so was keen to revisit.
The municipal park right in the middle of Chania on Crete is ignored by many tourists but they miss out on the wonderful trees that it contains like this old and wonderful Fig tree!
Another photo of the fig tree for today's green.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :)

An introduced species eating an introduced fruit in the backyard. I guess that makes sense. If they weren't so cute, I'd probably be more upset that our fig crop is disappearing.
Glad to be of service.

How lovely and restful is this little park at Victoria Park. Don't you just want to sit there and drink in the serenity?

An easy rainforest walk along Cedar Creek, Queensland, Australia. Sand Paper Fig Trees, Blue Flax Lilly and Bracken Ferns are growing all along the creek bed.
The "bats" or grey-headed flying foxes of Wollongong.
Every night there is a river of flying foxes leaving their roosting trees setting off to forage for food. Quite often we hear one in our back yard. Their favourite trees to roost in are casuarinas. This location is about 1 km (as the bat flies) from our house.
Alameda de Apodaca, Cádiz. Enlosado frente a un centenario Ficus Magnolia (ficus macrophylla). Dicen de este árbol y de su gemelo en la alameda que “……..parece ser que fueron traídos por dos monjas misioneras que regresaban en barco desde la India hacia el norte de España y traían entre su equipaje las cuatro plantas. Una de ellas enfermó gravemente, por lo que decidieron desembarcar en Cádiz para que fuese atendida en el Hospital de Mora, falleciendo poco después. Por ello, se decidió que las plantas se quedaran allí, plantando dos de ellas frente al Hospital de Mora y otros dos en la Alameda Apodaca en 1903”
The fig trees are in the middle left. It's unusual to see two fig trees growing so close together. You can see their buttress roots circling away on the lower right of the photo.

Just looking over some old files from my first trip to Norfolk and found a few images that have been unloved until now.
....planted around 1880, this is only one of dozens located on the Explanade and in some backstreet plazas.
Ficus obliqua in subtropical rainforest in the Illawarra Escarpment State Conservation Area, near Mount Keira, New South Wales, Australia. I'm told the ferns close to the camera are probably Creeping shield ferns (Lastreopsis microsora). The fern high up in the top left of the photo is a Birds-nest fern (Asplenium australasicum).
