I'm looking for a UK Palm house that contains a Bodhi tree. I know Kew has a beautiful tree but I was hoping there might be one in the north west or Wales?
Ficus religiosa or sacred fig is a species of fig native to the Indian subcontinent[2] and Indochina[3] that belongs to Moraceae, the fig or mulberry family. It is also known as the bodhi tree,[4] pimple tree, peepul tree,[2] peepal tree, pipala tree, ashvattha tree (in India and Nepal), or Asathu (ඇසතු) in Sinhala.[5] The sacred fig is considered to have a religious significance in three major religions that originated on the Indian subcontinent, Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Hindu and Jain ascetics consider the species to be sacred and often meditate under it

I believe there is a Botanical Garden in South Wales - started about 20 plus years ago. Maybe @wild edges would know about it ?
Good luck with your quest
