A banyan tree is a kind of fig tree that grows in India and Sri Lanka. The seeds of banyan trees are often dropped into the tops of other trees by birds. As the seeds start to grow, they send roots down through the air to the ground. Branches start to develop, and supports grow down from them. These supports take root as soon as they reach the ground. The Supports grow into new trunks and send out more branches. These branches send down more supports, and so on. After a while the tree that first supported the banyan will die. It 1S possible for one banyan tree to be the size of a small wood. There is a tree in Sri Lanka which is said to have 350 large trunks and more than 3,000 smaller ones!
