Strangler Fig


(Ficus Aurea) Strangler fig, aka Love tree, embraces and strangles their host by wrapping their trunks around them. These trees grow in the dark forests and begin life as epiphytes (plants that grow on trees). It uses the host plant for support and as it grows it tends to kill the original tree.
This is a very unique and almost artistically grown Ficus Aurea. With it's intriguing history, it makes a captivating statement in any home -- not to mention a great conversation piece!
