O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Domovanje več kot 2.000 rastlinskih vrst na 273 hektarjih, ta viktorijanski botanični vrt sega v leto 1787. Njegovo znamenito 200 let staro veliko banyan drevo pokriva 4,4 hektarja, kar ga uvršča med največje krošnje na svetu.
Poudarki: Veliko banyan drevo tukaj ni le staro, temveč je živi gozd več kot 3.600 zračnih korenin, ki so videti kot posamezna debla in podpirajo eno samo ogromno krošnjo. Po udaru strele in glivični okužbi v dvajsetih letih prejšnjega stoletja so prvotno glavno deblo odstranili, a je drevo še naprej uspevalo in se širilo ter tako v bistvu postalo svoj lastni klon.
Notranji nasveti
- Skip the tram inside the garden, walking the 2 kilometer loop past the banyan, greenhouses, and lake is more rewarding.
- Best photo of the Great Banyan is from the eastern side around 10 AM when the sun filters through the aerial roots at a low angle.
- Wear closed shoes and long pants, the grass harbors ant colonies and the pathways can get muddy after rain.
- Bring your own water and snacks, the lone on-site canteen has limited options and tends to run out by midday.
