Is there any interesting place in Pingnan Township, Yizhou?

There is a huge old tree in Pingnan Township, Yizhou City, Guangxi. It not only stands in the city center, but also passes through the wall and enters every household.

The reporter recently visited Pingnan Township and found this ancient tree. I saw that the wall of the house next to the tree left a hole along the branch for it to pass through. The balcony of the building next to the ancient tree was occupied by branches, but the owner of this house, Mr. Wei Guoqiang, told the reporter happily that the branches opposite the balcony would not affect life. On the contrary, when summer comes, you can enjoy the shade of sugarcane and become a landscape.

Wei Guoqiang said that there was no house in this place before. Later, the road was built, and now the house is slowly built on the roadside, so there are trees in front of the house. Then why not cut off the branches when building the house? "There are few ancient trees, and everyone should be protected by God!" Wei Guoqiang replied.

Local residents told reporters that this tree is a water maple tree and belongs to deciduous trees. According to the measurement, the canopy covers an area of more than 200 square meters, and now there are five branches.

In order to prove the size of the trunk, four adult residents held the trunk hand in hand, and only one person needed to hold it. Looks really old. Wei Guoqiang said that no one knew the exact age of the tree. "I'm over 60 years old. I asked my elders who are older than me, and they don't know. " Residents say there is a street with a history of 200 years. Based on this calculation, the tree age should be more than 200 years.

Local residents said that the staff of the forestry department often came to check the ancient trees.
