550‑Year‑Old Banyan Tree Becomes Forest‑Like Wonder

There is a very old banyan tree in India that is so big it looks like a forest.

It is about 550 years old and covers almost five acres of land.

The tree has more than 1,000 trunks that all grow from the same main tree.

Because of this, people who visit think they are seeing many trees, but it is actually one huge tree.

The Guinness World Records says it is the biggest banyan tree in the world by how much land its leaves cover.
