Installation, materials & documentation
High-footfall schemes are engineered for bump contact: planter edges are chamfered, lower branch rings are fixed rather than free-hanging, and the crown is kept clear of sprinkler envelopes and wayfinding lines.
Large specimens are delivered knock-down with a rigging sequence and a lift plan for the contractor; the fire pack is formatted for a venue review committee that clears many decorative installations in one pass.

Ordering & Specification FAQs
What buyers ask when specifying banyan trees for cultural venues and galleries — MOQ, lead time and this venue's requirements.
MOQ is project-based rather than per-SKU. A banyan at 4–10 m with a 3–7 m canopy is quoted per tree, but note that a finished specimen of that size is assembled on site from numbered sections — the rigging and assembly sequence is priced into the project, so the quotation reflects the tree and the installation rather than a bare plant.
25–35 days for standard builds, and 45–60 days for custom builds. Lead time starts from approved drawings rather than from the enquiry. A banyan of 4–10 m is assembled on site from numbered sections, so the rigging crew and the assembly sequence need to be in the drawing package.
Bases are weighted and rated for public traffic, with anchoring details issued as drawings for the venue.
No. Foliage is fixed, with fire-rated foliage available as an option, and no leaf drop to clear near artwork.
Yes — 4–10 m with a canopy spread to 12 m, sculpted fiberglass bark over galvanized steel with the aerial-root detailing cast into the trunk. Foliage is layered in tiers and fire-retardant treatment available as an option, and the site assembly sequence is documented for your rigging crew before anything ships.
