Nestled in the enchanting city of Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, a living marvel has recently captivated the world’s attention. A magnificent Banyan tree, estimated to be over 500 years old, has been officially declared the oldest living tree on Earth.

The Banyan tree became a symbol of resilience, silently bearing witness to the ebb and flow of time.

    Recognizing the Banyan tree’s age as the world’s oldest living tree did not come without thorough scientific investigation. A team of esteemed botanists, dendrologists, and researchers collaborated to unravel the mysteries of this arboreal wonder. They established an approximate age of over five centuries by meticulously studying its growth patterns, analyzing its genetic makeup, and carbon dating techniques. This remarkable finding places the Bulandshahr Banyan tree at the pinnacle of arboreal longevity.
