Banyan trees are evil plants right down there with poison ivy. Wee had one in the yard her it took over a year to kill all the roots after it was cut down

It looks like a plant that you would find in a JRR Tolkien novel.

Was she someone’s aunt? Because sometimes those manage to get themselves trapped atop rubber tree plants. ;)

I didn’t realize girls grew on trees.

Reminds me of the joke where the 2 old gals were walking on the beach and came across a couple of guys who were buried up to their, ahem, appendages, obviously trying to get them as tan as the rest of their bodies.

When they saw them poking out, one said to the other, "After all these years chasing after those things, I finally find a place where they're growing wild - and me too old to harvest them."
