Ever wondered why we don't get to see any flowers on the Banyan tree, while it bears fruits!! Banyan is quite an introverted, non-ostentatious species. Its tiny flowers are hidden inside the fruit-like structure that we call the Banyan Figs. These figs are edible but tasteless. And take care as you pluck one, your hands might get covered in a sticky resin/sap.
