A medium-sized to tall sized tree, Ficus mucuso can reach an height of 30 m, sometimes up to 40m; the plant commonly has prominent plank-like buttressed roots that sometimes extend for about 4 meters up the trunk. [2] The bark is smooth, cinnamon brown in color and rarely scaly. [2]
The present crown of the tree has a circumference of 486 m (1,594 ft) and the highest branch rises to 24.5 m (80 ft); it has at present 3772 aerial roots reaching down to the ground as a prop root. Its height is almost equivalent to the Gateway of India. The tree lost several prop roots when Cyclone Amphan passed through West Bengal on 20 May 2020.

In a banyan that envelops its host tree, the mesh of roots growing around the latter eventually applies considerable pressure to and commonly kills it. Such an enveloped, dead tree eventually decomposes, so that the banyan becomes a "columnar tree" with a hollow, central core. In jungles, such hollows are very desirable shelters to many animals.
Ficus macrophylla, commonly known as the Moreton Bay fig or Australian banyan, is a large evergreen banyan tree of the Mulberry Family native to eastern Australia, from the Wide Bay–Burnett region in the north to the Illawarra in New South Wales, as well as Lord Howe Island where the subspecies F. m. columnaris is a banyan form covering 2.5 acres (a hectare) or more of ground.
This is a tree with buttress roots that ranges from 8–40 m (26–131 ft) tall. [6] Because this is a pioneer species which quickly colonises secondary forest , and it is also a fast-growing species which can grow into a massive tree in only 100 years or so, it is generally readily recognisable as the largest trees in such secondary woodlands.
