This picture kind of stinks because it doesn't show you what's really going on, but this is a banyan tree, the national tree of India. We came across a HUGE one, while we were in the National Park. The interesting thing about this fig tree is that once a branch gets long enough, it will start to resemble a vine and drop to form a new trunk.This particular trunk had something ridiculous like 10 trunks and covered an area of about 30' X 30'. They can also live to be hundreds of years old, and this one was estimated to be about 500.
