Strangler fig
The strangler fig is a tree that is about 148 feet in height
This fig has its own species of wasps, the fig will never germinate if the wasps were not there. How the process works is that the fruits would open up a bit, then a wasp would lay eggs inside the crack which creates the seeds.
The strangler fig's fruits stay year long which makes alot of animals to feed on the fruits.
Then when the animals eat the fruit up the droppings will help it germinate .
The fig's waxy leaves help the strangler fig to adapt to the rainforest.
