Ficus benghalensis is the scientific name of the Banyan tree and is the national tree of India. These trees are very fat, obese looking. They are a great source of oxygen. Banyans are ecological linchpins. They produce vast crops of figs that sustain many species of birds, fruit bats, primates and other creatures, which in turn disperse the seeds of hundreds of other plant species.
