A Century-Old Narra Tree Inside the Benguet State University (BSU) Campus?

𝗔 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝘆-𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗦𝗨 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘀? A recent Facebook post by the College of Forestry of the Benguet State University stated that this large narra tree (𝘗𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘱𝘶𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘴) standing outside the BSU-SLS building may be more than 100 years old.

According to the post, forest experts from the college made the 100-plus age estimate "based on the tree's size and growth characteristics".

It could be. BSU was established in 1916 as the La Trinidad Farm School. For the narra tree there to be more than 100 years old, it should've been planted there between 1916 and 1926. 

If you ever pass by the tree there, go for a closer look. It's a magnificent tree. Especially with its golden-yellow flowers.

Narra trees are considered a threatened species in the Philippines.
