Deadly Tree Killers - The Strangler Fig | Free Documentary Nature

Some ficus species are strangler figs. The seeds are eaten by birds and pass through the digestive tract undamaged. If they are excreted on the branch of a tree, they remain stuck there thanks to the mistletoe-like slimy seed coat, sprout, thrive and proceed to strangle its host tree

    Here in South Africa we have many species of ficus. One is the 'Wonderboom' North of Pretoria. The tree propagates when the branches hang down and where they touch the ground a new tree grows. The tree was once able to shelter 1000 people, but a devastating fire in the late 1800s destroyed part of the growth. It's estimated to be over 1000 years old, and fortunately now a national nature reserve.

You've broadened my mind and my scientific vocabulary, (Epiphytes). I must remember to try and squeeze that into a conversation sometime. "Seen and good Epiphytes lately?" Or, "Those new employees, hang around the water cooler, like a heap of Epiphytes." Thanks!

    In the name of the white race, I would like to lay claim as the discoverer of the river of tears that you have cried. Seriously though, you have a nature documentary, and you're focused on semantics. Look for the beauty in the world, rather than trying to find everything you can wrong with it, and you will be much better off for it. . When you search for the wrong doing of any race, trust me you will find it. It isn't a race thing, or a white thing, it's the human race.
