The most interesting aspect of the strangler fig is that it grows from the sky down to the ground. Birds are a major factor in the birth of new fig trees, interesting the fruit and later dropping the seeds contained in them. Most seeds that are dropped to the ground do nothing, but those that drop into a moist mulch of decayed leaves and mosses that have collected in branches of trees have a chance of survival. They are more likely to receive some sunlight than those that drop all the way to the ground.
After the seeds of the fig trees germinate high in the canopy, their roots descend to form a menacing vice around the trees that support them. Eventually the host tree may begin to die, but it may take many years. Some types of fig trees put down roots so thick that they completely surround the host. In that case, all that is left is a moss-covered scaffold of fig roots.
