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.

Figures.
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!
Were there any initials on the tree?
