Banyan Tree (Extra Large)

Extra Large Banyan Tree in 100+ Gallon Pot available in Jupiter, FL.

Epic in scale and legendary in presence, the Extra Large Banyan Tree (Ficus benghalensis) in a 100+ gallon pot is not just a tree—it’s a living monument. With its grand canopy, cascading aerial roots, and deeply spiritual symbolism across cultures, this banyan is ideal for estate landscapes, meditative garden spaces, or signature installations where size, shade, and legacy matter.

Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

• Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade. For strongest growth and form, plant in an open area with 6+ hours of direct sunlight daily.

• Watering: Water deeply and regularly during establishment. Once rooted in, banyans are highly drought-tolerantbut will reward consistent moisture with faster canopy development.

• Soil: Prefers rich, well-draining loamy or sandy soil. Adapts easily to South Florida’s native soils. Avoid sites with standing water or poor drainage.

• Fertilizer: Feed 2–3 times per year with a balanced tree fertilizer to support vigorous growth and root expansion. Supplemental feeding in young trees helps jump-start canopy formation.

• Growth Habit: Fast-growing with a wide, spreading canopy and signature aerial roots that descend to form new trunks. In a 100+ gallon pot, this tree is 8–12 feet tall and well on its way to becoming a centerpiece specimen once planted in-ground.

• Temperature: Ideal for USDA Zones 10–11. Perfectly adapted to South Florida’s humidity, heat, and seasonal rainfall. Cold-sensitive when young—mature trees handle brief drops in temperature.

• Maintenance: Moderate to high. Prune strategically to guide shape and manage spread. Allow aerial roots to develop for the full banyan effect. Not ideal for small spaces—this is a tree with ambition.

• Estate homes and botanical gardens
