World’s second-largest banyan tree
2018: injected with chemical to kill termites
The world’s second-largest banyan tree in Pillalamarri of Mahabubnagar district in Telangana has been put on ‘saline drip’ for rejuvenation. The 700-year-old ficus tree is being injected with a diluted chemical to kill termites.
