The Great Banyan Tree, Kolkata - Covering 14500 sq mtrs and a circumference of 1 km, this 250 yr old tree is located in Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Indian Botanic Garden, Howrah, near Kolkata, India. In spread it is the largest known in India, perhaps in Asia. With more than 3300 aerial roots, it looks more like a forest than an individual tree. The tree now lives without its main trunk, which decayed and was removed in 1925.
