Why we don't get to see any flowers on the Banyan tree, while it bears fruits!!

Ever wondered why we don't get to see any flowers on the Banyan tree, while it bears fruits!! Banyan is quite an introverted, non-ostentatious species. Its tiny flowers are hidden inside the fruit-like structure that we call the Banyan Figs. These figs are edible but tasteless. And take care as you pluck one, your hands might get covered in a sticky resin/sap.

Scientific name: Ficus bengha

Common name: Indian Banyan

Family: Moraceae
