No kidding. This all is really one tree! Banyan trees can grow new roots from their branches to the ground which then sprout new branches themselves. But the whole giant is still one single living organism. Its canopy covers half the area of a football pitch.

I feel like crying. :| Once retire, I wish to have my garden like that!

Well, plan for a long retirement then: to build a garden like this is no problem, it takes about 5 hundred years though.

Yes, but you still could buy one, I guess. :)
(I know... Not a nice mentality.)

That's amazing. That looks like a little restaurant there, how fun would it be to have tea amongst those trees!
