[QUOTE="SlugSlinger, post: 3843007, member: 7248"] Ever been to Ft Meyers Florida? Thomas Edison's winter home has a Banyan tree planted there that is supposed to be the largest tree in the US. The home, the grounds and his "shop" can be toured and is well worth the visit. Oh, and his neighbor was Henry Ford. [HEADING=2]The Banyan Tree[/HEADING] Before you even enter the complex, the massive banyan tree that largely shades the parking area will attract your attention and awe. In 1925, Firestone obtained this tree in Calcutta as a gift for Edison. At the time, it was four feet high and two inches in diameter. Nearly a century later, it is thought to be the largest banyan in the United States.
