The bark of a Banyan tree is typically smooth and grayish in color when the tree is young but becomes rougher and more textured as the tree ages. It develops vertical fissures and can appear somewhat scaly or cracked. The bark is relatively thick, providing protection against various environmental factors and pests. One of the most distinctive features of the Banyan tree is its aerial roots, which grow down from the branches and eventually become additional trunks. These roots, once they reach the ground, thicken and develop bark similar to the main trunk, creating a complex and expansive structure. The bark of the Banyan tree plays a crucial role in supporting this unique growth pattern, allowing the tree to spread over a large area and form a natural canopy.
