Edison, Ford and Harvey Firestone tried to find a plant that would grow in Florida that would produce rubber. Consequently Edison planted many differen trees on his estate, include the huge banyan tree, which is in front of the Visitor's Center and the Mysore fig tree. It was interesting to see the botanical gardens and the laboratory and museum that are on the grounds of the estate.

Very animated variety of trees. Great post.
I love banyan trees! My great grandfather had banyan trees in the yard of his house in Tampa.
