Vietnamese heritage banyan tree

Vietnamese heritage banyan tree

Thuong temple banyan tree belongs to the multi-hairy variety. At the time of recognition, the tree was classified as a heritage tree with the largest trunk circumference in Vietnam, with a circumference of 44m, more than 36m high, and an age of over 300 years. Up to now, the tree has developed many additional roots and thousands of baby roots surrounding it. It is very difficult to distinguish which is the main stem and which are the secondary roots, because over time, the secondary roots have developed and become tightly attached to each other into giant root clusters no different from the main stem. Along with the regime of caring for heritage trees according to State regulations, the ancient banyan tree at Thuong Temple is always protected by the people. Every year the tree produces many roots, but no one breaks the branches, cuts the roots, or climbs. The tree has many mistletoe, many orchids clinging tightly to high branches, and large roots add to the ancient and natural beauty. When recognized as a "Vietnamese Heritage Tree", the banyan tree at Thuong Temple was the first ancient tree in the province to be recognized by the Vietnam Association for Nature and Environment Protection as a Vietnamese Heritage Tree. The tree stands tall and proud right on the banks of Nam Thi River, next to Thuong Temple - the place to worship the National Duke Tiet Hung Dao Vuong - Tran Quoc Tuan, who has made great contributions to the cause of protecting the land, mountains and rivers. water, becoming the pride of the people in the border land - Lao Cai.
