Located in the precinct of Quan Gia communal house (hamlet 5, Yen So commune, Hoai Duc district, Hanoi), are three centenarian Sua (Dalbergia tonkinensis prain) trees, with their trunks big enough that it takes two people to stretch hands around them.
Quan Gia communal house, Hoai Duc district, Hanoi was listed as a national relic in 1994
In the precinct of Quan Gia communal house, many Sua trees are planted
In order to protect this valuable kind of tree, the government has set up a commanding position to cooperate with the villagers to protect the three precious trees.
Among the three trees, the largest one has even been agreed on a price of VND60 billion
Over time, two of the three trees show signs of decaying, the leaf canopy gradually scattered. The people of Yen So village have to use concrete to block holes on the trunks, in order to limit the progress of rot.
Many branches dead, the fungus grows
The remaining tree grows very well, the leaves are sumptuous
This tree also has a height of about 15m, its trunk is about one-meter diameter, with a wide canopy and good green foliage.
The top of tree is cut, the green leaves of the tree are growing by its sprouts
For about 10 years, Sua tree considered as a treasure, the price is more expensive than gold.
