   These roots are magnificent — are they a banyan or ficus — or something else?

      I’ll try to find out. My guess would be ficus as well. They’ve cut the entire upper part off and just left roots and trunk, so. . . .

      Here is the biggest tree in the world, I believe. At least the largest I’ve seen: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Encyclopedia_Americana_(1920)/Tree_of_Tule

         Thanks — these are not sequoia or eucalyptus roots — I’m thinking it must be a banyan or a ficus.

         Or maybe a Montezuma cypress like the Tree of Tule. Thanks for the research!

   They remind me of some of the huge banyan tree roots we have in SoCal! One in particular — the Moreton Bay Fig tree in Santa Barbara.
