Under the Banyan
As we hiked the Pipiwai Trail on Maui, we passed under this beautiful Banyan tree.
The giant banyan trees of are the largest trees in the world, as measured by canopy coverage. In these trees, a network of interconnected stems and branches has grown entirely by vegetative, "branching" propagation. I guess this is a small one in the scheme of things compared to the Maui town of Lahaina that has the biggest Banyan tree in the United States.
Banyan trees are considered sacred in some cultures.
