The banyan tree does not lose its leaves in autumn like other deciduous trees.
The banyan tree is an evergreen plant, and there is usually no obvious leaf-falling season. This does not mean that it does not lose its leaves. Generally, evergreen plants can shed their leaves all year round, because evergreen leaves can grow for 12-18 months. Defoliation is usually more severe in spring. With the growth of new leaves, the old leaves have also completed their mission.
Evergreen trees have the characteristics of being evergreen all year round and have high beautification and ornamental value, so they are often used as the first choice plants for greening.
Extended information:
The banyan tree is native to India and is a large evergreen tree in tropical and subtropical areas. It is usually divided into big-leaf fig and small-leaf fig. This tree is regarded as a sacred tree in many parts of the world. It is called Bodhi tree in India and is the provincial tree of Fujian Province in my country.
The banyan tree is the easiest to grow. Just cut off a branch as thick as a bowl and insert it into the ground and pour water on it to survive. It can grow well in mountains, flatlands and even rock cliffs, and people are shocked by its tenacity and tenacity. ?
Banyan trees are mostly found in the south of China, with the largest number in Yunnan Province. In Yunnan, they are mostly concentrated in Dehong and Xishuangbanna prefectures where the Dai people live together. This is because the Dai people still believe in Hinayana Buddhism and regard the banyan tree as a sacred tree and a feng shui tree. They are not allowed to cut it down randomly and they continue to plant it.
Every festival, people will place banana leaf cakes on its thick roots and burn a few sticks of incense as tribute. In Dehong and Xishuangbanna, banyan trees can be seen everywhere. In Dehong, the most common ones are big-leaf figs, while in Xishuangbanna, there are more small-leaf figs.
Because the banyan tree has bizarre aerial roots, it can form a single tree into a landscape. The most common wonderful scenery is a single tree into a forest. With more aerial roots penetrating into the ground, a tree becomes a forest, showing people a strange scenery.
