There are two such banyans in Nantou, dubbed Tree Lord and Tree Mother, and their birthdays are celebrated each year by local parents who prepare the appropriate offerings and bring along their children to worship. The children wear banyan leaves attached by red thread, to procure the protection of the trees.
像南投市漳興里的兩棵榕樹，民眾稱為「大樹公」與「大樹媽」，每逢樹公生日，愛子情切的父母便備妥牲禮，帶著子女齊來祭拜，還用紅線穿上一片榕葉掛在孩子身上，以求樹公隨時呵護。
