The Great Banyan

The Great Banyan is a banyan tree located in Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Indian Botanic Garden, Howrah, near Kolkata, India. {{#invoke:Footnotes|sfn}} It was the widest tree in the world in terms of the area of the canopy and is estimated to be about 200 to 250 years old. {{#invoke:Footnotes|sfn}} It became diseased after it was struck by lightning, so in 1925 the middle of the tree was excised to keep the remainder healthy; this has left it as a clonal colony, rather than a single tree.
