The botanical nature of its invasiveness is still being discussed on both sides. Literature review provides a more detailed view. As of now, the 'strangling' nature of adventitious aerial roots is a misnomer. Its effects if any are localized within itself and not outside, thereby making its 'invasive' nature more doubtful. I would like plant taxonomists and researchers to step in here. For now, I can whet out basic claims.
Sorry to remove the oxygen passage. Such information needs to be quoted and related to scientific work. I couldn't find it on the Internet.

plaska or plaksa?
Looks like a joke... But some say you can get some energy from Sacred fig leaves, enough torecharge a mobile battery. Don't know what to do with this.--Mlelao (talk)04:26, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"ld" on the end of a German word is pronounced "lt".
So this is saying that L is pronounced "lt"?

No idea where that comes from. Not from here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathi_phonologyKortoso (talk)20:31, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Although it is fairly well known that the Pipal tree was taken from places inside of India and transported to places like Sri Lanka, there are at least a handful of 19th century authors that describe this tree as being found and revered as sacred in parts of ancient Africa that have housed Buddhist missionaries. A modern author tries to cover the topic more fully in the book; The Inherent Scholarly Prejudices on the Relationship between Judaism, Buddhism, and Christianity-or-Jesus's Godama Sources and a Truer History of the Post-Axial Age Egyptian, Grecian, and Persian Empires— Precedingunsigned comment added by72.78.66.26 (talk)12:17, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think this article fails to provide the most basic information such as the average life span and many other biological facts. A bit more expansion regarding the classification of species and how it is different from other fig trees would also be informative for readers.Cx3z (talk) 18:22, 17 March 2015 (UTC)Agreed, this article stresses more on the religious significance than botanical aspects.Kalpak (talk)09:02, 22 May 2016 (UTC)kalpak[reply]
In the south of Iran, this plant is native to the region. Some of its trees are more than 500 years old.Irman (talk)11:07, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This article does not mention one of the main reasons that meditation practioners sit under the Bodhi tree to meditate. When a breeze blows the Bo tree leaves make a sound that resembles gentle rainfall. It's incredibly soothing. You can verify this at your nearest Bo Tree, especially in summer when the leaves are dry.199.168.59.113 (talk)17:04, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I thinkAshvattha should be merged into this page perWP:DUPLICATE - it's an article on the same tree from a Hindu perspective (not religious/cultural aspects in general; only Hindu aspects). It's not a long article, so there are no length issues.CohenTheBohemian (talk)14:40, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
