Synopsis:
It may be one of nature's oddest couples: a tiny wasp that can barely be seen, and a giant fig tree, the Sycamore, which shelters a remarkable menagerie of wildlife among its limbs. The wasp and the fig depend on each other for survival. Without the wasp, the tree could not pollinate its flowers and produce seeds. Without the fig, the wasp would have nowhere to lay its eggs. The Queen of Trees shows this delicate dance of survival in exquisite detail, including spectacular close-ups of the wasp's remarkable life inside a ripening fig.
