The Banyan trees that grow near the Selby House Cafe are a real anomaly. Originating from a single fig and developing into an epiphyte, which is a where a plant grows on another plant, the Banyan tree is another miracle of nature. If you look back into history and many famous works of art, you will see that the Banyan tree was often used as a shady spot to sit under and chat or have a picnic. Selby Gardens mimics that fabled setting for many a visitor.
