Banyan Wood Slabs


As the Banyan tree grows, its lateral branches send down supporting branches that become absorbing roots when they reach the ground, which then turn into their own trunk-like structure. The host tree is eventually strangled as the Banyan continues to send out more branches and roots/trunks. The mature banyan’s canopy may cover an area more than 1,000 feet in diameter. The Banyan Tree is considered sacred in India. It’s believed that in 1925, the very first Banyan tree made its way into the United States from India and was planted by Thomas Edison himself on his Ft. Myers estate. During WWI, Thomas Edison became concerned with America’s reliance on foreign sources of rubber. He partnered with Harvey Firestone and his good friend Henry Ford to find a rubber tree or plant that could grow quickly in the United States. Banyan was one of the trees planted in this attempt to isolate a suitable plant protein. The wood from the root branches is considerably stronger and more useful. It is used for wall art, table slabs, tent poles, yokes, shafts, and other load-bearing wood products.

Salvaged Banyan Slabs
Who cuts salvaged Banyan trees into table slabs? We do of course! The Banyan tree was first brought to Florida by Thomas Edison in the late 1800’s in his quest to invent a way to make synthetic rubber at his estate in Fort Myers. These trees can cover more than an acre in size and yield very crazy shaped slabs. You can even mount a plant box under the holes in the center and have some plants growing in the holes of your coffee table slab. Some folks just hang them on the wall as art. No matter which way you decide to use them they are certainly unique little descendants of Ol’ Thomas!!!
