Ficus Benghalensis (Yellow Variegated Leaf)

Ficus benghalensis, commonly known as the Banyan Tree, is a large, evergreen tree native to the Indian subcontinent. It is renowned for its massive canopy, aerial prop roots, and ability to grow into a dense, wide-spreading structure. These aerial roots descend from the branches, eventually becoming supportive trunks, allowing the tree to cover large areas. The banyan tree has leathery, glossy green leaves and provides dense shade, making it a popular tree in parks and public spaces. In many cultures, especially in India, it holds spiritual and historical significance, symbolizing longevity, shelter, and wisdom. Some cultivated varieties, like the one with variegated leaves, are used for ornamental purposes due to their unique foliage.
