Untitled[edit]

Any photos or website with photos of it during its existence? --Bobak 17:54, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Trunk removal date[edit]

The dates given in different sections contradict each other. --Chuck Sirloin 16:18, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rounding figures[edit]

I'm going to go ahead and round the figures given for dimensions, per Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(dates_and_numbers)#Numbers.
I'm guessing that the extreme precision in the source cited is (a) probably due to converting from some other units and (b) no longer exactly correct anyway.

Banyan tree[edit]

I wish to know who planted this great Banyan tree in Kolkata, if any one has any record please include that as well. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.169.143.133 (talk) 05:32, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kindly please update the area covered by the tree.. it was more than 5 acre in 2017 2409:40D0:D:F4F3:8000:0:0:0 (talk) 04:55, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Figures[edit]

The figures don't match: If the circumference of 1km is correct, the area would be ~80.000 sqm. If the occupied area of 14500 sqm is correct, the circumference would be ~420m.2.240.164.8 (talk) 12:49, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Single tree?[edit]

If the original trunk is gone, how can it be a single tree? If it has so many trunks, how can it be a single tree? Grandma Roses (talk) 20:42, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's something called a Clonal colony 92.5.203.1 (talk) 05:41, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Possible self promotion in description[edit]

The opening line reads "The Great Banyan This information is being published by Satyanarayan Kumawatis... )" I'm not sure who Satyanarayan Kumawatis is but I'm thinking of removing it. Unless someone says otherwise I'll remove it in a few days. 92.5.203.1 (talk) 05:45, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict with other page[edit]

Both this article and the one for Thimmamma Marrimanu read that they were the largest tree specimen in the world in the 1989 Guinness Book of World Records. Obviously this can't be true for both of them. Ardsamurai (talk) 19:33, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
