FICUS BENGHALENSIS, 10 SEEDS

The banyan (Ficus benghalensis L.) is an evergreen plant widespread in the Indian subcontinent. Its most obvious characteristic is the aerial roots that, starting from the branches and reaching the ground, transform into as many trunks, thus enlarging the surface covered by each tree. The Ficus benghalensis is the national symbol of India and is considered sacred. A gigantic specimen was described by Nearchus during Alexander the Great's expedition along the banks of the Narmada River.
