According to the British "Daily Mail" report on February 6, a banyan tree in a botanical garden in India is so huge that it looks like a forest from a distance, becoming a unique landscape.

As shown below: Seeing the picture of the tree, you must think it is a forest, but it is just an Indian banyan tree that "grows wantonly".

The Indian banyan tree, also known as the Bengal banyan tree, has a very peculiar shape. There are aerial roots on the branches. The aerial roots penetrate into the soil to form new trunks, and then continue to expand.

A single tree can cover an area of ??tens of thousands of square meters and can accommodate thousands of people at a time.

Indians often use the tree's location as a gathering place to engage in various trading activities.

This 250-year-old banyan tree located in the Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Botanical Garden in Howrah, India, covers an area of ??about 14,000 square meters, has a diameter of 411 meters, and has 3,600 aerial roots.

The arboretum has built pathways around these aerial roots so visitors can enjoy them up close.

People call it the "big banyan tree".

The picture below is a close-up view of a "single tree forming a forest" banyan tree: At the same time, there is a larger banyan tree in Andhra Pradesh, India.

The tree covers an area of ??approximately 19,000 square meters, and according to official records, its canopy is the largest in the world.
