The following tree is a native variety of Vietnam that is growing well in many areas of Hanoi.

Contrary to the dead red maple leaf on Tran Duy Hung Street, another tree with equally beautiful beauty is growing green in Hanoi. Mr. Le Huy Cuong, an expert of the Vietnam Association for Forestry Science and Technology, said that this is the following, a native species of Vietnam. The following trees are distributed in the northern provinces such as Lao Cai, Lang Son, Cao Bang, Ha Giang. In Hanoi, this variety is widely grown in the Ngoai Giao Doan urban area, West Lake West, the area of ​​the Korean Embassy and the regulating lake of the Exchange City urban area. The posterior leaves are shaped quite like maple leaves. According to experts, to distinguish the posterior tree and the maple tree, people rely on the leaf lobes. The posterior leaves are split into 3 lobes and the maple leaf has 5-6 lobes depending on the habitat. In the northern provinces, the young leaves of the following plants are used for food. As noted by Zing on April 6, around the area of ​​the exchanging city lake, there are more than 30 trees, the Diplomatic Corps Urban Area has about 150 trees. My Huyen (in Cau Giay, Hanoi), said she and her friends came here to take pictures because they heard that there are rows of maple trees in Korea. She was surprised to learn that this is not a red maple tree, but a native variety of Vietnam. “I will definitely come back in the fall to have pictures when the leaves change color,” she said. The posterior fruit has many soft, pointed spines. The following trees all grow green, with a trunk diameter of 20-30 cm and a height of about 6-7 m. Some trees lay new branches, and the sprouts developed green. The canopy of trees is wide, creating shade for many young people to come play and rest. “The following tree is suitable for the city because of its strong root system, which is well adapted to the environment. I asked the Hanoi Greenery Park Company to multiply and concentrated this tree, especially around lakes so that people can come to take pictures, ”said Mr. Le Huy Cuong. In the photo, the lake in Exchange City is where dozens of trees are planted. In winter, the following leaves also turn yellow, as brilliant as the red maple tree in cold countries.
