Receiving the certificate of recognition as a national historical relic for two banyan trees in Quynh Luu
(Baonghean.vn) - On the morning of August 29, the Quynh Luu District Ornamental Plants Association coordinated with Quynh Hoa Commune to organize a ceremony to receive the certificate of recognition for 2 Thi trees - national historical relic trees.

| Vo Ngoc Tran - Vice President of Nghe An Provincial Student Association awarded the certificate of recognition of 2 Thi trees as national historical relic to Quynh Hoa commune. |
 |
| The trunk of the ancient star apple tree is so big that it takes five people to hug it. |
The two ancient fig trees in Quynh Hoa commune are about 350 years old; each trunk is about 2m in diameter and over 10m high. The tree has a majestic, towering shape with rough bark, and its branches spread out evenly, shading an area of nearly 200m2. Notably, located 50m away from the two fig trees, there is an ancient stone well with a stele inscribed in Chinese characters. What is special is that this well never runs out of water, even in years of severe drought.
 |
| The only ancient well still existing in Quynh Hoa commune has never run dry. |
Through the ups and downs of history, the two banyan trees and the ancient well have always been closely associated with the formation and development of Quynh Hoa commune. The recognition of the banyan tree as a national historical relic will contribute to enriching the local heritage, proving the cultural and historical value left by our ancestors, and at the same time contributing to raising the responsibility of the locality as well as the people in caring for and protecting the national heritage tree.
