Ancient Sophora Tree
Ancient Sophora Tree
This ancient tree grows by the river in Tangfang Village, Songbai Town. It is a plant under national key protection, also known as Tian Shi Li, and belongs to the deciduous arbor family. This ancient Sophora Tree is over 500 years old. Its trunk is hollow, and venomous snakes once nested inside. Later, nearby farmers, fearing the snakes might harm people, set fire to the tree to drive the snakes away, which burned away half of the trunk. However, the tree remains lush and leafy, demonstrating its remarkable vitality.
