1952 Great Banyan Tree Palm Beach FL Postcard

1952 vintage postcard. The Great Banyan Tree in tropical West Palm Beach, Florida. The banyan is one of Florida's most curious trees, which sprouts even from the seed dropped on the limb of any other tree by birds. The roots descend to the soil and in time kill the tree on which they grow. Then as the branches develop, these throw down supports which soon as they touch the ground, enlarge into trunks and extend branches their turn to all sides of the parent tree.
