Thimmamma Marrimanu is the name given to this banyan tree in India. It's canopy spreads over 19,107 square meters, providing shade equivalent to nearly four football fields combined.
Thimmamma Marrimanu isn’t just one tree with a singular trunk. This massive banyan tree expands through a network of interwoven aerial roots that descend from the branches, taking root in the ground to form new trunks, all part of the same organism.
It's about 500 years old. I'd love to stand beneath it ❤
