What are Strangler figs and their life cycle?
Strangler figs are a type of fig tree that begin their life as epiphytes, germinating in the canopies of other trees. As they grow, they send down roots that eventually reach the ground, allowing them to absorb nutrients and water. Over time, these roots encase the host tree, which can lead to its decline and death as the strangler fig becomes dominant. The mature strangler fig then produces figs that attract birds and other animals, facilitating its reproduction and dispersal.
