TIL the controversial Strangler Cairn, a 4m high self-supporting rock structure that cost $700,000aus, has a strangler fig atop it, which the artist intended to wrap around the cairn as it grew. But that species of fig gets its nutrients from a host tree, so in this case it can't actually grow weekendnotes.com/strangle…

To clarify, these trees cut off the water, food, sunlight from the trees they encase until that tree eventually dies. But they do say they help the trees from being uprooted in a hurricane or something.

Update on strangler fig experiment with Ficus Abutilifolia. If you look close you can see a root making its way down. Plastic is filled with peat moss. Couldn't get sphagnum moss, thought this was the next best thing. reddit.com/gallery/ovp467
