Fortunately, this project will never be completed. There will always be new trees to encounter and document. In such a vast country, with a population of countless trillions of trees, only a handful could ever be landmarked on one field project.
Here is a list of “leads”- notes on trees we heard about but could never actually visit. Some are famous and important trees, which we deeply regret missing, and others are simply fragments and scraps of information. Hopefully, in the future, we’ll be able to track them down..maybe with your help! If you are keen to collaborate, you can help out by visiting these trees, marking them on a map, and taking photographs of these trees. If you are up to the challenge, please visit the Contribute page.

| From News Week India: “District Fatehgarh Sahib has one of the largest Banyan tree in the country(Gurpreet Singh Mehak) District Fatehgarh Sahib of Punjab has one of the largest Banyan tree in the country or may in the world. The tree which spreads over three to four acres of land stands in village Cholti Kalan is also known as ‘Kaya Kalp Vriksh’. While coming from Sirhind side on the Sher Shah Suri Marg one has to take a left turn off the Marg at Sarai Banjara village and travel about 8 kms or an interior link road to reach the site of the tree which stands out amidst lush fields. As per information received, the tree is a few hundred years old. The local belief is that nobody can stop the relentless spread of the tree. As the tree is surrounded by private land, the adjoining land owners dare not cut any branch which may grow and cover their land. It is believed that any person in the past who tried to stop the spread of the tree had to face grave misfortunes. The usage of waste wood or fallen leaves of the tree is considered equally unpropitious. Though great banyan tree continues to grow undisturbed but immediate need of conservation. He forest department had already taken matter with district Fatehgarh Sahib administration to save the tree . The tree attracts many visitors from nearby areas . Its conservation can be beneficial from tourism point of view as well. A temple and rest house (dharamshala) have been constructed under the tree. Believing that the tree has unique healing power, people suffering from different ailments, too, visit this place to spend some time under its shade in order to get cured. The tree also had cultural significance now with an annual fair being organised under its shade annually on February 15. “(Thanks to Tanvir Singh) | Map: At GoogleArticle: At News Week India |
