The Walking Tree That Lives for Centuries

#shorts #Banyan tree #Banyan trees #roots #forest Have you heard about the Banyan tree? It’s a real party animal, sending out roots that grow their own branches until it looks like a whole forest. But don’t be fooled, it’s actually a strangler fig, one mean mother who’ll smother any tree that gets in its way. According to Hindu mythology, Krishna gave his sermon on the Bhagavad Gita while standing under a banyan tree. And in Hindu cosmology, the world tree is an upside-down banyan with its roots in heaven and its branches reaching down to Earth. So there you have it, the Banyan tree: a party animal, a strangler fig, and a holy symbol. All wrapped up in one.
