BO TREE at Foster Botanical Garden

BO TREE - Ficus religiosa.
Moraceae - the fig and mulberry family

This exceptional tree traces its lineage back to Buddha's sacred tree in India and was given as a gift to Mary Foster in 1913. As a type of fig tree, the flowers grow inside “figs” which are pollinated by tiny wasps that crawl inside. Come watch its beautiful heart-shaped leaves dance in the breeze.
