Why can a single tree make a forest?
If you travel to Bangladesh, don't miss visiting the Jesol area, because there will allow you to see with your own eyes the natural wonders of the forest. It is a banyan forest covering an area of more than 20,000 square meters. Nearly a thousand thick and thin trunks support the huge crown, which is lush and full of vitality. It is said that in history, an army of six to seven thousand people had taken advantage of the cold and rested under this forest. The most amazing thing about this forest is not its history, but that it is a spectacle created by a banyan tree!
Why can banyan trees grow into forests alone? It turns out that in addition to roots that go deep into the ground, banyan trees also have another unique root. They can grow from trunks or branches. The longer they grow, the longer they grow. Some hang in the air, and some have already stretched into the soil. Among them, because this kind of root hangs in the air when it first grows, it is called aerial root. There are hundreds or even thousands of aerial roots in a large banyan tree. After they hang underground, they grow thicker and thicker, and gradually become very similar to the trunk. It looks like hundreds of big trees gathered together., and a wonderful landscape of a single tree forest was formed. The banyan forest in Bangladesh is actually formed from a banyan tree. According to botanists 'research, it is 900 years old.
