A fig tree grows from the bottom up by sending out roots into the soil to absorb water and nutrients. These roots support the growth of the trunk, branches, and leaves above ground. The tree then produces figs on its branches, which grow and ripen over time.

What does the strangler fig eat?

One type of Strangler Fig is From Brazil but there are Several types. The One in Brazil is officialy known as the Strangler Fig. To survive in the rainforest it will grow fruits and once a bird has eat the fruit it will spit the seed into a tree.Soon the seed will begin to grow and wrap itself over it's host (The Tree the seed was put on) it will send it's roots down to the forest floor and once they are in the ground it will begin to leech the nutrients and water the tree has. Once it is all sucked up the host tree will die but the Strangler fig won't as it is strong enough to live on it's own and will now take the place of the host tree. :) hope it answered your guestion!!

What are some strangler fig adaptations?

The strangler fig tree have many adaptations one being that the strangler figs start their lives off as epiphytes, plants that do not root in the soil in their first stages of life, as at the ground level of the rainforest there is little light and a huge amount of competition for water and nutrients meaning that the majority of plants that start off on the ground have to adapt or die. The strangler fig has adapted by using other trees to get itself into the canopy where it is lighter. Once the strangler fig sprouts roots, it begins to use them to strangle the tree. as well as this it competes with the host tree for nuitrients and water, then the strangler fig has a large growth spurt, and once it begins to grow leaves they are very large and they tend to cover those of the host plant. The Strangler fig uses alot of these adaptations to become able to grow into a strong healthy plant.

Can a fig tree have leaves without fruits?

Yes if the weather has been a little too dry a fig tree, especially a red turkey fig which is the predominate fig tree in the deep south, can go the whole season and not produce a single fig. It takes a good rainy season to make figs. The rainier the better up to a point. When you start getting too much rain the figs will start loosing their sweetness. There's always two sides to the picture. Frogfur.
