Ancient Banyan Tree Roots - Tropical Nature Photography
Free worldwide shipping · Made to order & shipped from a lab near you · Arrives in ~5–8 days (US) · Damaged? Free replacement.
The aerial roots of an ancient banyan tree cascade from a high canopy in a living curtain of woody braids, each strand a separate prop root that left the mother branch decades ago and grew straight down toward the soil. The species (Ficus benghalensis) is the national tree of India, and individual trees can cover several acres because every root that touches ground becomes a new trunk — the largest specimens in Calcutta and Andhra Pradesh now span over four acres and shelter hundreds of villagers under a single canopy. Photographed close, the curtain reads almost like a cathedral organ — vertical, repeating, slightly unreal. One of the strangest geometries in the plant world.
