WHERE'S TARZAN?

Well, this might look like a forest but it's A tree; yes Martha, that means it's all one tree.  This is a Banyan tree (Ficus sp.) one of the many types of figs and it spreads laterally, almost indefinitely, from aerial (adventitious) prop roots that descend from its branches. It's lateral movement is limited only by space available.

Some of you might remember a very famous and ancient banyan recently burned in the fires of the City of Lahaina on the Island of Maui, Hawaii.
