National Tree of India - Banyan



National Tree - Banyan





Indian national tree is the fig tree, Ficus bengalensis, whose branches root themselves like new trees over a large area.

The roots give rise to more trunks and branches. Because of this characteristic and its longevity, this tree is considered immortal and is an integral part of the myths and legends of India.

Even today, the banyan tree is the focal point of village life and the village council in most areas meets under the shade of this tree.
