		Like all figs, the fruit of the Moreton Bay Fig contain hundreds of small flowers inside the "fruit".
		You can grow them from seed, but wild trees here are usually sown following the consumption of the fruit by birds or flying foxes (fruit bats).
		Yes, they are commonly used here as Bonsai, but you have a loooong wait for a good one.

	Moreton Bay Fig
		The Moreton Bay Fig is a rainforest tree, and in that habitat it can be a 'strangler fig' - with it's seed setting high in the canopy and it's roots reaching right down to the ground, eventually growing to a stage that strangle it's host and stands alone.
		It can grow to 50m with wide buttressed roots.
