Mahogany trees in Hanoi have bark strippedMany ancient mahogany trees in Lang Street in Hanoi have had their bark stripped by vandals who are said to use this as a remedy for pruritus treatment. Many passers are very surprised to see the problem around dozens of mahogany trees on Lang Street. Some residents who live on Lang Street believe that some people take the tree bark for pruritus treatment, but they do not intend to destroy the trees. Professor Tran Van Mai, who is former lecturer at Vietnam Forestry University and has 50-year experience in researching different kinds of trees, said that the cut on the trees on Lang Street is small, so won’t affect the tree’s life.
