The Killer Strangler Tree: Nature’s Ruthless Yet Vital Architect

Koberg BV explores the fascinating world of the killer strangler tree, a Ficus species often used by interior landscapers. These trees, including Ficus macrophylla and Ficus aurea, both of which are famous for their "strangling" nature, start as epiphytes, growing on host trees before sending down roots that eventually encase and strangle their support. Over time, they outcompete their hosts for nutrients and sunlight, leading to their demise.
