Do you know the Strangler Ficus? The gap in the center of the trunk was originally occupied by a tree. The characteristic of the Strangler Ficus is that it grows from top to bottom! Its seeds are deposited at the top of a tree by monkeys or birds. The roots seek food and descend like vines. When they reach the ground, they thicken, suffocating the host tree. After 300 or 400 years, it gives a wooden cathedral.
