April 21, 2014Q.Banyan Trees
My wife and I disagree about one aspect of Banyan trees, 2 of which we have at our home in Florida Keys. I say Banyan is a slow growing tree; my wife says it is a fast growing tree. Which is it? Also, is there a convenient way to estimate the age of a Banyan?

April 30, 2014Q.Do Banyan trees get spiders
Do Banyan trees get spiders which cause them to lose all their leaves? An insect was eating the leaves and leaves were turning yellow. It was treated with something, and now all the leaves are dropping.

Certified ExpertA.In my experience, eBay is actually a great place to find unusual plants. Just check the feedback on the seller before you buy, but there are many excellent sellers of unusual plants on eBay.

September 2, 2015Q.Banyan Fig Germination
What care and materials are needed for propagating Banyan Fig trees from seeds?
- Answered by
Downtoearthdigs on
September 5, 2015A.Banyan seeds should be harvested from the tree when the seeds are completely dry.
Plant the seed in a pot of potting soil and plant the seed 2 inches deep. Mist the soil so it is wet but not soaked.
Check the soil daily.
In a week or so you should see tiny shoots poking out.
When the seedling is 3 to 4 inches high it can be planted outdoors.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/banyan/growing-a-banyan-tree.htm
