Strangler Fig (Ficus obliqua) 57 metres tall

This well known tree recently suffered damage. Around a third of it is on the ground now. But the highest branches are still in tact. Small-leaf fig (Ficus obliqua), measured at 57 metres tall.

One of the largest figs in the state, but not quite the tallest. There's one of this type on the Wilson River in the mid north coast, measured at 63 metres tall.

Ficus obliqua is sometimes abbreviated by botanists as "Ficus o". But in this case it is Ficus OH! These are massive plants, often as wide as tall.

Considerable damage to nearby trees is evident nearby as large branches fell recently. The Giant Stinging Tree is abundant in the disturbed area. There are also flowering rainforest shrubs on the rainforest floor, they appear to be in the Solanum group, identified as Solanum ditrichum.

This old giant is approaching the last part of its long life.
