Some species sit around for years waiting for that extra bit of sun light from a fallen branch or tree, Diploglottis australis just keep on growing. They will grow through the middle of fairly shady trees like Glochidion fernandii (Cheese Tree) under a cover story of Eucalyptus microcorys. They are adapted to low light situations.
