In the process of social development, trees are always associated with people. There are trees with hundreds or thousands of years old, being witnesses of history, of the changes of a land and many generations of people there. In Binh Duong, there are 3 ancient trees with hundreds of years old that have just been recognized as "Vietnamese Heritage Trees" by the Vietnam Association for the Protection of Nature and Environment, attracting the attention of a large number of people.

The surrounding area of the 150-year-old “trom” tree at Binh Duong Fine Arts - Culture Junior College is a place with many activities organized by the school

Having the opportunity to talk with teachers and students who have been teaching and studying at Binh Duong Fine Arts - Culture Junior College, we clearly feel each person's feelings about the “trom” tree with the scientific name of sterculia foetida in the school yard. With more than 150 years old, this heritage tree has seen many generations of teachers and students attached to the school and Binh Duong. Under the shade of the “trom” tree, many people have encountered the sources of artistic creative emotions. Accordingly, teachers and students ‘happy and sad stories here have been preserved during the growth process of the “trom” tree.

The “trom” tree at Binh Duong Fine Arts - Culture Junior College also witnessed many local historical and cultural events. Currently, the “trom” tree is a prominent highlight in the locality because it is the oldest compared to other trees on the extended Bach Dang street in Thu Dau Mot city’s Phu Cuong ward, with a beautiful scenery, attracting many people for entertainment...

Along with the “trom tree”, in Thu Dau Mot City, there are also two other ancient trees just recognized as "Vietnamese Heritage Trees". These are keria and banian trees in the ground of Tuong Binh Hiep communal house in Tuong Binh Hiep ward’s quarter 2. The konia tree is more than 200 years old and the banian tree is more than 150 years old. These two ancient trees are growing lushly, in which the konia tree grows straight inside and is surrounded by the banian tree and its roots, forming up two ancient trees that hug each other very beautifully. That's why people here also call these two trees as "unity trees".

For Binh Duong people, preserving ancient trees not only arouses the pride of local people and the gratitude of posterity for ancestors who worked hard to cultivate and protect the trees, but also contributes to preserving environmental landscape, raising awareness of respect for nature and the community's responsibility to environmental protection.
