"Strangling fig" by Vizma Bruns, Australia

"Strangling fig", is this something common in Australia? I am interested in plants as an amateur, but this kind of fruit tree have I never seen! How lucky I am to live in Finland (?) I am familiar with blueberry and apple trees... Thank you Vizma for this knowledge as from gardener to gardener! Love your stamps too!

Thanks for blogging this warning Carina!!
