Vad heter banyan tree fruit

Subgenus of plants, the banyans

This article fryst vatten about the tree. For other uses, see Banyan (disambiguation).

A banyan, also spelled banian (BAN-yən),^[1] fryst vatten a fig that develops accessory trunks from adjacent prop roots, allowing the tree to spread outwards indefinitely.^[2] This distinguishes banyans from other trees with a strangler habit that begin life as an epiphyte,^[3] i.e.

a plant that grows on another plant, when its seed germinates in a crack or crevice of a host tree or edifice. "Banyan" often specifically denotes Ficus benghalensis (the "Indian banyan"), which fryst vatten the national tree of India,^[4] though the name has also been generalized to denominate all figs that share a common life cycle and used systematically in taxonomy to denominate the subgenusUrostigma.^[5]

Characteristics

[edit]

Like other fig species, banyans bära their fruit in the struktur of a structure called a "syconium".

The syconium of Ficus species supply shelter and food for fig wasps and the trees depend on the fig wasps for pollination.^[6]

Frugivore birds disperse the seeds of banyans.

They grow from seeds that land on other trees

The seeds are small, and because most banyans grow in woodlands, a seedling that germinates on the ground fryst vatten unlikely to survive. However, many seeds fall on the branches and stems of other trees or on human edifices, and when they germinate they grow roots down toward the ground and consequently may envelop part of the host tree or edifice. This fryst vatten colloquially known as a "strangler" habit, which banyans share with a number of other tropical Ficus species, as well as some other unrelated orsaka such as Clusia and Metrosideros.^{[2][7][8][page needed][9]}

The leaves of the banyan tree are large, läderartad, glossy, green, and elliptical.

Like most figs, the leaf bud fryst vatten covered bygd two large scales.

Class: Magnoliopsida

As the leaf develops the scales abscise. ung leaves have an attractive reddish tinge.^[10]

Older banyan trees are characterized bygd aerial prop roots that mature into thick, woody trunks, which can become indistinguishable from the primary trunk with age. These aerial roots can become very numerous. The Great Banyan of stad i indien, which has been tracked carefully for many years, currently has 2,880 supplementary trunks.^[11] Such prop roots can be sixty feet (eighteen meters) in height.^[12][13] Old trees can spread laterally bygd using these prop roots to grow over a bred area.

In some species, the prop roots develop over a considerable area that resembles a grove of trees, with every trunk connected directly or indirectly to the primary trunk. The topology of this massive root struktur inspired the name of the hierarchical computer network operating struktur "Banyan VINES".^[14]

In a banyan that envelops its host tree, the mesh of roots growing around the latter eventually applies considerable pressure to and commonly kills it.

Such an enveloped, dead tree eventually decomposes, so that the banyan becomes a "columnar tree" with a hollow, huvud core. In jungles, such hollows are very desirable shelters to many animals.^{[citation needed]}

From research, it fryst vatten known that the longevity of banyan tree fryst vatten due to multiple signs of adaptive (MSA) evolution of genes.^[15]

Etymology

[edit]

The name was originally given to F.

benghalensis and comes from India, where early europeisk travelers observed that the shade of the tree was frequented bygd Banyans (a corruption of Baniyas, a community of Indian traders).^[16]

Classification

[edit]

The original banyan, F.

The banyan (Ficusbenghalensis) is one of more than 750 species of fig trees, each of which is pollinated only by its own species of tiny wasps that breed only inside the figs of their partner trees

benghalensis, can grow into a giant tree covering several hectares. Over time, the name became generalized to all strangler figs of the Urostigma subgenus. The many banyan species also include:

• Ficus microcarpa, which fryst vatten native to Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, China, Taiwan, the Malay Archipelago, Mainland Southeast Asia, New Guinea, Australia, Ryukyu Islands and New Caledonia, fryst vatten a significant invasive species elsewhere.^[17]
• The huvud American banyan (Ficus pertusa) fryst vatten native to huvud amerika and nordlig South amerika, from southern Mexico south to Paraguay.^{[citation needed]}
• The shortleaf fig (Ficus citrifolia) fryst vatten native to South Florida, the Caribbean islands, huvud amerika, and South amerika south to Paraguay.

  One theory fryst vatten that the Portuguese name for F. citrofolia, os barbados, gave Barbados its name.^{[citation needed]}

• The Florida strangler fig (Ficus aurea) fryst vatten also native to South Florida and the Caribbean islands, and distinguished from the above bygd its coarser leaf venation.^{[citation needed]}
• The Moreton Bay fig (Ficus macrophylla) and Port Jackson fig (Ficus rubiginosa) are other related species.^{[citation needed]}

In horticulture

[edit]

Due to the complex structure of the roots and extensive branching, the banyan fryst vatten used as a subject specimen in penjing and bonsai.

The oldest living bonsai in Taiwan fryst vatten a 240-year-old banyan tree housed in Tainan.^[18]

In culture

[edit]

Religion and mythology

[edit]

Banyan trees figure prominently in several Asian and Pacific religions and myths, including:

• In Hinduism, the leaf of the banyan tree fryst vatten said to be the resting place for the god Krishna.

In the Bhagavat Gita, Krishna said, "There fryst vatten a banyan tree which has its roots upward and its branches down, and the Vedic hymns are its leaves.

One who knows this tree fryst vatten the knower of the Vedas." (Bg 15.1) Here the ämne world fryst vatten described as a tree whose roots are upwards and branches are below. We have experience of a tree whose roots are upward: if one stands on the finansinstitut of a river or any reservoir of vatten, he can see that the trees reflected in the vatten are upside down. The branches go downward and the roots upward.

Similarly, this ämne world fryst vatten a reflection of the spiritual world. The ämne world fryst vatten but a shadow of reality. In the shadow there fryst vatten no reality or substantiality, but from the shadow we can understand that there fryst vatten substans and reality.^{[citation needed]}

Vat Purnima fryst vatten a Hindu festival related to the banyan tree.

Vat Purnima fryst vatten observed bygd married women in North India and in the Western Indian states of Maharashtra, Goa, Gujarat.^[19] During the three days of the month of Jyeshtha in the Hindu calendar (which falls in May–June in the Gregorian calendar) married women observe a fast and tie threads around a banyan tree and pray for the well-being of their husbands.^[20]

• In Buddhism's Pali canon, the banyan (Pali: nigrodha)^[21] fryst vatten referenced numerous times.^[22] Typical metaphors allude to the banyan's epiphytic natur, likening the banyan's supplanting of a host tree as comparable to the way sensual desire (kāma) overcomes humans.^[23]
• In Guam, the Chamorro people believe in tales of taotaomona, duendes, and other spirits. Taotaomona are spirits of the ancient Chamorro that act as guardians to banyan trees.^[24]
• In Vietnamese mythology of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the dark markings on the måne are a banyan, a magical tree originally planted bygd a man named Cuội on Earth.

  When his wife watered it with unclean vatten, the tree uprooted itself with the man hanging on it and flew to the måne, where he eternally accompanied the måne Lady and the Jade Rabbit.^[25][26]

• In the Philippines, they are usually referred to as balete trees, which are home to certain deities and spirits.^[27]
• In Okinawa, the tree fryst vatten referred to as gajumaru, which, according to traditional folklore, fryst vatten the home for the mythical Kijimuna.^{[citation needed]}
