Banyan trees are figs and they're tropical, so unless you live in a nice warm place, you're probably out of luck. If you do live in a place they'll grow, you should note that the way they get those nice root systems is often to start growing on another tree. They're commonly epiphytes that usually end up strangling the original tree eventually, hence the name 'Strangler Fig" for the species native to Florida.
