This massive Banyan Tree is located
at the entrance to Crandon Park Beaches on the eastern side of Key Biscayne
and was originally planted by W. Matheson and the Banyan trees were originally
used to mark the boundaries of the cultivated land. One Banyan tree
per corner. The trees are exotics and came originally from India
and Africa and are known for the size of their trunks. If these particular
trees had ears, they would have heard "What a perfect place for a tree
fort!" from generation after generation of Key Biscayne's children and
visiting children from all over the world.
