Large Trees Growing On An Abandoned House

Trees grow in abandoned houses, emerging through collapsed roofs and broken windows, in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on March 25, 2026. Organic debris, such as dust and leaves, accumulates in neglected areas, creating soil for seeds carried by the wind or birds. The roots grow into structural cracks in search of stability. Large Pigeon wood or Indian Charcoal Tree (Trema orientalis) and Sacred fig or Peepal trees (Ficus religiosa) grow through the broken windows and walls on the broken first-floor ''Koriboroga'' roof, with their roots tightly gripping the walls.
