This is a photo of a tree-killing green fig tree! This fig tree started life centuries ago as a small seed dropped in amongst the branches of another tree by a bird or small animal and it would have started growing there. Once it got too big though it started to drop roots down over the sides to hunt for water below and, 500 years later, this is the result; a huge, 48m tall fig tree that has strangled the original tree to death and now stands up by itself. Who'd have thought trees could be so viscious?
