RE: Tree Tuesday: The Banyan Tree (Ficus benghalensis)
It's an impressive tree and at 260 years old it is a baby still. It seems kind of parasitic in nature. Many vines are like this. They kill the host tree.
Have you heard of the Olive trees in Lebanon? they are over 6,000 years old. ;) That's old? lol
Thank you for sharing this with me molometer, will go check it out. Yes, it is parasitic but I feel in a good way as it provides tons of food and shelter more than the host. Nature is absolutely amazing.
