Discover the majestic Ficus religiosa, known as Bodhi Tree, Sacred Fig, Peepul, or Bo tree—an embodiment of rich history and spiritual significance. Revered in Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism, this magnificent tree is said to have sheltered Buddha as he attained enlightenment. Native to the Indian subcontinent and regions of Southeast Asia, Sacred Fig belongs to the Moraceae family, showcasing an imposing stature with a straight trunk and a sprawling canopy adorned with aerial roots that reach the ground for additional support. Growing up to 100 feet tall and 9 feet wide, it boasts glossy, heart-shaped leaves that rustle in the wind, and inconspicuous flowers that reside within figs, transitioning from green to red or purple. In its natural tropical habitat, it thrives as a semi-evergreen, but it can act as deciduous in cooler climates. Beyond its spiritual reverence, Bodhi Tree is valued for traditional medicine, landscaping, and environmental conservation. Known for producing oxygen even at night, it stands as a symbol of prosperity, happiness, and longevity. Embrace this sacred symbol in your garden or home, mindful of the potential invasiveness and mild toxicity of its sap. Whether as a remarkable ornamental shade tree or a container plant, including as a bonsai, Bodhi Tree brings profound cultural and environmental depth to any setting.
