Ficus elasticoides specimen in southern Ghana

Summary

edit
Description
English: "Hollow" tree in Aburi Botanical Garden, north of Accra, Ghana

Ficus elasticoides (English: Rubber shade tree, Twi: Amane gyedua) in the Aburi Botanical Garden. This famous woody epiphyte was first discovered in the fork of an African mahogany tree, Afzelia africana, in 1906. It kept on developing and by 1936 had successfully strangled its host and has now taken its place. The hollow interior of the Ficus reminds of the size of the former host tree.
