Zaberio Mbuba, 78, welcomes visitors from far and wide to marvel at the 200-year-old Mutunguru tree on his land. Mbuba does not charge visitors who come to marvel at the iconic tree, but he gladly accepts monetary gifts. He has also planted grass, which he trims regularly to keep away pests that may attack the tree. The stranglers grow on the tree and once they are mature, they kill the main tree. Due to this desperation, we contemplated selling the tree for timber to raise the money,” said Hilda Mugambi, the wife of the sick man.
