Banyan is a very large tree, which eventually become accessory roots, these roots are called supporting roots. These roots hang from the branches and keep growing till they reach the ground. Older trees can reach more than 200m in diameter, covering an area of some hectares with a height of 30m. The fruits of the banyan are called fig. When they ripe, they are very popular with birds and monkeys and are eaten by humans in times of famine.
