  1. Full story here:
    Caulocarpa Fig chopped down This large strangling fig tree has been burned, then chopped down recently in an oil palm plantation, possibly to open up more illegal farm land. I have obtained some cuttings and seeds from this dying tree to grow them and replant them back in our 1StopBorneo Wildlife reforestation sites.<br />

This fig is a strangler in which is can fully encase the trunk of its host tree. Cross section inside the cut area shows that there is a living host tree which has been strangled by the fig. Fruits are small and produced in masses. The leaves of Ficus Caulocarpa are distinct showing the clear red petiole (leaf stalk) in contrast with the light green midrib (leaf middle vein).<br />
