This ‘Sa mu dau’ tree (Cunninghamia konishii Hayata) stands at the upper reaches of Khe Bu in Chau Khe Commune, Con Cuong District within Nghe An Province.

It has been registered as a Vietnam Heritage Tree by the Pu Mat National Park (Nghe An Province).


Up until now this ‘Sa mu dau’ tree has been growing normally with a cone-shaped thin leaf canopy. The height of the tree is approximately 70 m, with a perimeter of 23.7 meters and a diameter of 5.5 meters. Unfortunately, at present, a part of the tree has decayed and needs to be taken care of by relevant authorities.  Care for this tree should be done in the framework of conservation activities for ancient trees, biodiversity, and precious, rare genes in Vietnam.
