The Heritage Tree Council of Vietnam has officially recognized two ancient tea trees in the Quang Nam Chau mountain range (in Ly Quang Hamlet, Duong Hoa Commune, Quang Ninh Province), as Heritage Trees of Vietnam after determining they met all the required criteria.
An ancient tea tree with a trunk about the size of four adult hand spans.
The recognition by the Vietnam Association for Conservation of Nature and Environment (VACNE) marks a significant step in local biodiversity conservation and heritage promotion. In accordance with the recognition process, VACNE will issue the official decision, certificates of recognition and a standard stone marker design, enabling the Duong Hoa Commune People's Committee to organize an official recognition ceremony. With the addition of these two trees, Quang Ninh is now home to 318 Heritage Trees of Vietnam officially recognized by VACNE.
