It took 60-80 years of growth in the Monteverde forrest for this strangler fig tree to reach its intimidating height! Only 2 percent of sunlight will reach the forrest floor therefore the tree has high odds to overcome to grow to full height.
Climbing inside the fig tree was a great experience! Many animals also find shelter in the hollow inside of the tree and feed off of the fig fruits. Luckily I did not run into any other animals while inside the tree.
