Tree of the Year Nepal, 2020
This tree of 'Sami' (Ficus Benjamina) is standing tall in the serene plains of Joginiya, Saptari for many decades. Among various species trees present in this area, only this tree was saved from cutting down. It has religious significance in the Hindu community. This cultural belief has proved a boon for the environment of that area since the flood of 2008.
