According to Chairman of the communal People’s Committee Pham Van Mieng, those trees’ stems have 1 to 2 meters in diameter. The average height of the trees is over 40 meters. The oldest tree ages from 500 to 600 years old.
The recognition is very important to protect the nature and ecological environment as well as rare gene of such a tree. An eco-tourism developing model in combination with popularizing typical culture of ethnic minority people in Bac Me is set to be built in the future.
