A group of 5 ancient fig trees are scattered in the yard of Mr. Le Van Thuong's family in Hamlet 2, Nghi Thinh Commune (Nghi Loc - Nghe An). The ancient fig trees and many other types of trees have created a garden that is always green and shady. Photo: Duc Anh

Each ancient fig tree has a different shape and size, but the Nghe An Ornamental Plants Association has determined that they are all over 700 years old. All the branches and leaves are green and full of life, and when the season comes, they bloom and bear fruit, bringing income to the family. Photo: Duc Anh

In particular, the branches and leaves of the ancient trees stretch high, intertwined together, providing shade over a large area, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate. Photo: Duc Anh

Mr. Le Van Thuong said that many people have come to see the ancient fig trees and offered billions of dong. Notably, a businessman in Ho Chi Minh City once offered 12 billion to exploit and develop eco-tourism, but the owner did not agree to sell. Because according to Mr. Thuong, this is a treasure of the family and lineage, it must be preserved for descendants. Photo: Duc Anh
