The Biggest Tree in Asia Can Be Found in Aurora!


The 600-year old Banyan Tree (locally known as Balete Tree) found in Maria Aurora, Aurora measures 50 meters in height and its leaves stretch ¼ hectares wide. Its enormous trunk is equivalent to 62 men formed into a human chain. Because it’s old, the tree’s roots have grown above ground, forming caves under various sections of the trunk.
