Such is the case with the banyan, the timber of which is easily distorted; the Formosan sweet gum, which people do not like to cut because it bleeds red sap; and the autumn maple tree with its knotty trunk. Together, these make up more than half the old trees presently listed by the D.A.F. Thanks to the temples many old trees are left standing.
