Banyan Trees are actually Plants that begin their growth by seed germination in or on another Plant or Tree. They are a tropical species of Fig Tree that are characterized by prop roots. The aerial prop roots grow above ground and eventually become indistinguishable from the Tree trunk. Their unique structure, with roots growing up and branches growing down, has made them a noteworthy species. 

‍

Banyans have a special symbolism in Hinduism, Buddhism, and many Asian and Pacific cultures. Plantworks offers Artificial Banyan Trees with those same distinctive prop roots and green, elliptical-shaped foliage. Live Banyans are considered an invasive species, so they aren’t often a good choice for pairing with other Trees and Plants. Artificial Banyan Trees, however, can “live” in harmony with any other species in any environment!
