CPRE - Vietnam Rural protection - old tree in old culture place

 Case study

1. Old mango trees in Quán Thánh - Chương Mỹ - Hà Nội (gần đồi Tiên Phương và chùa Trầm).

Carbon dating or ring measure.

Rất có thể những cây này đã được trồng lại, nếu không tuổi sẽ rất lâu 100+ năm ?

2. Chùa Trầm + Vô Vi temple

3.  đồi Tiên Phương => khu rừng + vườn cây rất đẹp đang bị xoá sổ dần để xây cất nhà + biệt thự.

4. Hàng gạo Đoan Nữ, 1 cây gạo cổ thụ đã bị hạ hồi năm 2020 (2019?) do làm đường.

Imagine you and your grand grand parent have a good mango taste of the same tree :)

Wow I often think that most pollination done by bees or butterfly but the much hated flies did the job too :)

In 2011, the Vietnam Association for Conservation of Nature and Environment (VACNE) launched a programme to conserve Vietnam Heritage Trees, aiming to select and honour the country’s heritage trees in a bid to conserve their gene sources, while raising public awareness of protecting the environment.

It also contributes to promoting the diversification and abundance of Vietnam’s flora as well as developing scientific research in the field.

To win the honour, the trees must be at least 200 years old in the case of wild trees, and at least 100 years for those planted. Moreover, the trees should be connected with the historical and cultural characteristics of the area where they grow.

Those which do not meet the aforesaid criteria yet have special values in science, history or culture, will also earn recognition.

The number of recognised Heritage Trees is currently around 970.
