Notes:

There are about 5 gigantic trees in Cuc Phoung listed on the visitors map. I visited them all. There was a sign near this tree giving its common name in Vietnamese - cay cho ngan nam, it's latin name and its age of 1000 years.

Actually Cuc phoung is popular with school groups because its only 3 hours from Hanoi and the main trails are well kept. So, yes, unfortunately there are some names carved into the tree but nothing as ancient as 1000 years ago!
