SailorBold 710 Report post Posted September 16 Neat. Strange too... I have no idea but I'd guess mistletoe... but I don't think that's quite right.. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John2468 28 Report post Posted September 16 No, mistletoes grow on other trees for nutrients. Good try!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silas_Sancona 6,068 Report post Posted September 16 Ficus, but not sure which sp.. F. aurea and F. citrifolia are native and turn up in odd places every so often.. Other non native sp. can sprout in random places too. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jerry@TreeZoo 496 Report post Posted September 17 Ficus microcarpa is a very common volunteer in South Florida. Old names are Ficus retusa and F. nitida. They frequently start as epiphytes. Is that one growing at the top of a wall with an overhang or ceiling directly above it? If so, I would look for growth above the ceiling and a possible roof leak. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
