Rainforest fig trees have a unique reproductive strategy known as "strangler figs," where they start life as epiphytes on other trees and eventually send roots down to the ground, enveloping and eventually strangling the host tree. This process can take several decades to complete and results in the formation of hollow, fig-shaped structures known as "strangler figs."
