Trees at the Edison and Ford Homes

These are some of the roots from what I think is a rubber tree - in the genus Ficus for sure. Edison successfully experimented with getting rubber from trees here in America.

This is an amazing specimen of a banyan tree and is the second largest one the world covering an acre on Edison's land. Even though it looks like a lot of trees, it is really only one. It was a gift from Harvey Firestone back in the twenties.
