At a point of four meters height from the roots,the big trunk separates into a myriad of small branches. The tree is called a "thousand branch"ginkgo tree. In autumn the leaves turn to a very beautiful,golden,yellow mass.

Photograohers from all over the region flock to the  tree to try to capture the tree at the height of its autumn colors.
