This place holds GUINNESS WORLD RECORD 💚

Описание: 🌳Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Indian Botanic Garden
The garden was not always called Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Indian Botanic Garden. The garden was renamed in 2009, and named so in honour of the scientist Jagdish Chandra Bose. Back in 1787, Colonel Robert Kyd of the East India Company founded the garden with the sole aim to grow commercially viable plant species such as spices, tea and teak. Little did he know that one day, centuries later, this strangler fig species would go on to become the largest banyan tree in the world.
The Great Banyan Tree was recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records in 1989 as the world's largest tree. It holds the record for the largest canopy and widest span of area. The tree is estimated to be over 250 years old which covers an area of 4.67 acres. The tree has 3,772 aerial roots that reach down to the ground.
