This old tree grows on the river side of Tangfang village, Songbai town. It is a key national protected plant, also known as Tianshi chestnut. It is a deciduous tree. This ancient Thoreau tree is more than 500 years old. Its trunk is empty. There was a poisonous snake making a nest in it. Later, the farmers nearby were afraid that the poisonous snake might hurt people, so they set up firewood to smoke the tree to drive away the poisonous snake, but half of the tree was burned. But now the tree is still luxuriant, it can be seen that the vitality is very strong.
