Title

Old and valuable tree : ARCHSD CW/38

Subject

Chinese Banyan

Description

The most well-known fig species in Hong Kong, the wide crown of this tree provides a valuable habitat for birds, and its fruits are important food for wild animals. Since its aerial roots can develop into new trunks rapidly after they reach the ground, Chinese Banyan can grow into a mini-forest by itself in a favourable environment.
