The Great Banyan Tree in Kolkata isn't just any tree; it's the world's widest in terms of canopy coverage, spanning an astonishing 14,500 square meters or 1.5 hectares. Estimated to be between 200 and 250 years old, this awe-inspiring tree has a myriad of aerial roots that make it look more like a forest than a single tree. Intriguingly, the tree has thrived even after its main trunk decayed and was removed in 1925, making it a living marvel of resilience and growth. #India #kolkata #tree #big #environment #biggest
