If they're anything like the ficus we have in Key West, Florida, they also have very shallow root systems and blow over very easily in hurricanes. Not wise to have them close to a home period. Trust me

Sure to be similar, general rule is not to plant near a house, one never knows the rooting system.

Such a tree reminds me that nature is powerful

Big trees such as this always take me back to Treebeard and the Ents in 'Lord of the Rings' a good read @fates

Movies were not bad, just never capture imagination quite the same way that a book is able to.

I loved the Ents! and fully agree with you there!
something about massive trees make them majestic and the fact that they have been around so long standing firm when all the world around them has changed, makes them otherworldly .

That's a great description of the tree, I often walk by trees where I am and I'm not sure what species they are...

Fruit trees though are especially nice, great for birds!

(kryptonia:motordrive)

It is interesting that trees are being named throughout our province, assisting in gaining new knowledge when walking in parks or nature reserves, by photographing makes it available to go home and do some research @motordrive

That's a weird looking tree, the name in Afrikaans is almost similar to the Dutch name. Well, most of the language is kinda similar...

Afrikaan's is known as 'kitchen Dutch', after Dutch arrived in the Cape of Good Hope the language formed so many words and names will look and sound similar to original Dutch.

Amazing pics!

I love trees and walking between them, feeling relaxed. @fortunee via Kryptonia

Feeling of being one in nature @fortunee thanks for visiting.

observo como manos o una persona camninado

Nuevas piernas posiblemente ..

First time seeing a fig tree. Very useful tree for man and animals

Visit from kryptonia

nice photo my friend @joseleonardojose kryptonia

Very interesting tree.... are those roots reaching down to the ground?

Looks like roots going down to anchor itself more firmly, very aggressive rooting system @ackhoo

They are giant fig trees and they help nature in their own little way.

Everything in nature has purpose @airsoftman

Trees of great size and the fig is divine, in my country it is a costly fruit.

Figs are delicious @anasuleidy

perfectly captured image. nice.

Such a strong tree. Visiting from kryptonia

visiting from, @kryptonia

Thanks for share this beautiful post. visiting from, @kryptonia

This tree will look scary at night ahahah, actually even at day time it looks creepy too

Sure does @fleurinna never thought of that haunted look to it 😊

Beautiful and very useful tree.
Nice shots. But I still believe you can bring out the colors in post processing

My photography is as I take it with no manipulation @abbiephoto

So interesting @joanstewart, especially after @breezin (I hope I remember correctly) had a photo of an old root ball of one of these trees. Seems that many ficus trees have similar root issues - the wild fig does, too. Will try to find a pic.

Sheesh, I owe you pics - the bird photo bomb - you see I haven't forgotten!

Finally, this is going to be my #teamsouthafrica daily nominated post

I loved that photo @breezin shared, looked like an art piece all of it's own. Use that to build a garden around would be amazing center piece!

Battling with a bad internet connection, lucky if I get a post up every other day @fionasfavourites looking forward to the bird photo bomb 😊

Great post, and I have to admit I do love figs

Nothing like figs fresh off the tree @socialmediaseo these to my knowledge are not for human consumption, we did have fig tree in my Dad's garden growing up, nowhere near as big as this!

This can be more inspiration for my "Name the tree!" contest! Cool!
Visiting from @kryptonia, @mapleleaf123

Thanks for visiting @mapleleaf123 so many trees, we never stop to consider what part they play in the surrounding ecosystem.

Trees are the best :)

Lovely post @grace234

this is very sturdy tree.

I didn't see this kind of trees before
