How do banyan trees spread their seeds?

Banyan trees mainly rely on birds to spread seeds. The fruit of the banyan tree is one of the favorite foods of some birds, which usually ripen around September to October. After these birds eat the fruit of the banyan tree, the indigestible seeds travel everywhere with the droppings of the birds, take root and sprout wherever they fall, and the banyan seeds that pass through the stomach and intestines of birds can germinate easily.

Propagation methods of Banyan Tree

1. Seed propagation: although the banyan tree can bear fruit year after year, its seeds are very small, and threshing is also very difficult, so cuttings or strips are often used in production.

2. Cuttage propagation: softwood cuttings are often carried out on the open field seedling bed in the rainy season, and they can take root one after another after 20 days, and the seedlings can be put on the pot after 45 days, and the survival rate is more than 95%.

3. Striping propagation: in order to cultivate large seedlings, the soft characteristics of banyan branches can be used for striping, and it can be cut off from the mother after 2 months to form a larger potted plant.
