I've got this plant growing out the side of my balcony. I've ignored it mostly I kinda like it, but it does seem to be growing and I'm worried about it compromising the structural integrity of my balcony.

Should I be worried? Also how's the best way to get rid of it?
i think he is right…
i wouldn't keep that one, if you want to relocate it into a pot and place on your balcony, ficus have invasive roots.
Poison it as well.
Looks like you got a vertical garden going there, it's a new trend for gardens nowadays :)
Yes you should be worried. Get the body corp to remove it as it will damage the brickwork and cause water to get behind the first layer of bricks.
Moreton bay fig maybe. If you do leave it you can eat the fruit for a free meal. Not very tasty though.
Looks like a normal ficus. Can’t see the base but cut the stem, let roots dry out and clean up.
