In Binh Duong, there are two more ancient trees which are Heritage trees, and a kơ nia tree that produces delicious edible seeds.

The tree trunk at breast height has a diameter of 9.6m; the tree height is estimated at about 27m; the tree canopy width measured by tape measure in the East-West direction is 42m and the South-North direction is 30m.

During the investigation, measurement and determination of tree age, there was support from the ward elders, ward leaders and plant experts of the Vietnam Heritage Tree Council.

Thanks to the good care and protection of many generations of people in the ward, the ancient Kônia tree and the Banyan tree are still growing and developing well, providing beautiful shade at the provincial historical site of Dinh Than Tuong Binh Hiep, located in Quarter 2, Tuong Binh Hiep Ward, Thu Dau Mot City, Binh Duong Province.

Tuong Binh Hiep Communal House (Tuong Binh Hiep Ward, Thu Dau Mot City, Binh Duong Province).

Tuong Binh Hiep Communal House was built around the end of the 19th century. This is the Communal House to worship the first Doctor of the Southern region - Phan Thanh Gian (1826). Every year on the 12th day of the 10th lunar month, people in the area and neighboring areas flock here to attend the Communal House festival to pray for favorable weather, national peace and prosperity. Tuong Binh Hiep Communal House was recognized as a provincial historical relic by the Provincial People's Committee in Decision No. 5033/QD-UBND dated November 19, 2007.

The ancient Kơ nia and Banyan trees of Tuong Binh Hiep Communal House are a testament to hundreds of years of history through many periods of change and development of society.

The recognition of the Kơ nia and the Banyan trees as Vietnam Heritage Trees will be a highlight for generations of people, tourists, students to visit, study and conduct scientific research. This is an ideal destination for eco-tourism, community tourism, and tourism towards the roots.
