There is a tree with parasitic plants in the street over there in Guilin. what kind of tree is it?

Banyan tree This is a big tree, with a height of15-25m, a DBH of 50cm and a broad crown. Old trees usually have rusty brown air roots. The bark is dark gray. Banyan has strong adaptability, likes loose and fertile acidic soil, can grow in barren sandy soil, and leaves turn yellow in alkaline soil. Not drought-resistant, more resistant to water and humidity, short-term waterlogging will not rot the roots. Poor growth in dry climate conditions, atmospheric rooting can occur in humid air, greatly improving the ornamental value. Like sunny, warm and humid climate, not cold-resistant, except in South China, potted plants are often used. The requirements for soil are not strict, and both slightly acidic and slightly alkaline soils can grow, fearing sun exposure.

The parasitic plant of banyan you mentioned is called air root. The roots of banyan trees are particularly developed, with whisker-like air roots and good absorption capacity. According to this characteristic, we adopt the artificial guidance method of Ficus microcarpa aerial rooting, which can make Ficus microcarpa aerial rooting contact with the soil as soon as possible, which is beneficial to the rapid growth of roots and rooting into forests.
