Happy Fence Friday

Gate with winter remnants of fig tree leaves

تفرد اولباريكوي بحكم زمرة ابيه جيسي وعمه فرانك بعد رحيل الأول وموت الثاني ، وبعد مقتل اخيه اولوبي على يد اولوبور

واخيه اولوشيبا اوآخر ابريل الماضي ، تعرف زمرته باسم ب (فيق تري برايد ) اي زمرة اشجار التين ، يدعى هذا الأسد أيضاً بأسم جيسي الثاني ، على اسم ابيه

يظهر لي انه قوي البنية وكذلك اللبؤات اراهم قويات يخفن الضباع وحولهم الأشبال متفاوتي الأعمار ، وفي هذه الصورة لديه لبوتان يظهرن الغيرة ولا يبدو عليهن الارتياح وهو كذلك يظهر الغضب احياناً

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 fig tree of the old prison

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.

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”

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.

Fig tree in infrared.

The fig tree in a garden in the upper car park is producing some great looking fruit. I can see owners having to get the netting out soon before the birds start eat them.

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!

Protaras is a predominantly tourist resort which comes under the administrative jurisdiction of Paralimni Municipality in Cyprus.

Protaras is the tourist area of Paralimni , one of the most beautiful areas on the island of Cyprus. Protaras is an iconic bay with clear waters and golden beaches.

 

The Ayia Triada Beach or Trinity Beach as it is called in English, is situated in the Paralimni area in the Ammochostos district.

 

More specifically it is one of the Protaras beaches, located to the north and it is considered to be one of the most amazing beaches in the area.

Morten Bay Fig trees on norfolk Island

Beautiful fig tree in Maleny QLD

An introduced species, they have been very successful at making a home for themselves in Orange County. They have a real fondness for out fig tree. I guess I can't get too upset about it as figs are an introduced species to California. That could fall under the "genetic turn about is fair play" category.

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.

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).

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.

Taken in the Lockyer Valley just west of Brisbane.

Buddha head in the roots of a fig tree

Ayuttaya, Thailand

This is the scene of slow but age-old struggle: the tenacious tree is probing and poking the rock for cracks and fissures to exploit, while the rock - which probably predates the dinosaurs - holds steadfast and has seen it all before. The tree outgrows its support system and tumbles, to be taken by the sea at the end of this narrow pathway. However, the hardy tree's root-system lives on to sprout a new shoot heading for the light, and the struggle continues.
