Banyan Fig Tree

Ficus benghalensis, the majestic Banyan tree, is a fast-growing evergreen known for its massive spreading canopy and unique aerial roots that descend to form secondary trunks. Native to the Indian subcontinent, this sacred tree thrives in tropical climates, offering extensive shade. Its glossy green leaves and small red fruits attract various birds. While it begins life as an epiphyte, it matures into a structural wonder, making it a dramatic choice for large landscapes or parks.
