In several species of Ficus, such as F. benjamina, aerial roots descend from branches until they reach the soil. The aerial roots can then uptake nutrients for the tree. These aerial roots can expand to a size nearly as large as the tree trunk. The multiple roots can completely cover a large landscape area, making it nearly impossible to grow anything else under the tree.
