Besides the square banyan tree, in Truong Sa there are two other tree species with tenacious and durable vitality. What are they?

The maple tree is majestic, but has a soft, graceful shape, with spectacular curves following the wind. (Photo: Thuy Giang/Vietnam+)

This tree has become a symbol of courage and indomitable will of the Vietnamese land and people in the middle of the ocean, preserving the sacred sovereignty of the sea and islands of the Fatherland. (Photo: PV/Vietnam+)

The maple tree is a tree that grows in harsh climates but still thrives in storms, heavy rains, and in the midst of thousands of waves. (Photo: Minh Anh/Vietnam+)

More specifically, the clusters of tiny white flowers resemble milk flowers and have a gentle fragrance. (Photo: Thuy Giang/Vietnam+)

Because of their ability to withstand harsh weather and sea waves, most of the trees are planted in the outermost ring near the sea to help block wind, storms, sand, and even waves. (Photo: Thuy Giang/Vietnam+)

The mature banyan tree is quite tall, its branches spread horizontally, casting shade over the island's surface. (Photo: Thuy Giang/Vietnam+)

The leaves of the maple tree are large and thick, with a smooth upper surface. (Photo: Thuy Giang/Vietnam+)

The plants living on the Truong Sa Islands must have strong vitality, withstand winds of level 12, even level 14, and sea salt vapor to be able to survive. (Photo: Minh Anh/Vietnam+)

The rough bark of the maple tree is a testament to the harshness and hardships of the sunny Truong Sa island, along with the salty sea breeze that it has had to endure. (Photo: Thuy Giang/Vietnam+)

The Phong Ba tree has become a familiar symbol of Truong Sa soldiers. The Phong Ba tree still provides shade on the island every day under the scorching sun. (Photo: Thuy Giang/Vietnam+)

The storm tree not only protects against wind and sand, is salt-resistant and retains soil, but also provides shade. (Photo: Thuy Giang/Vietnam+)

The flowers of the storm tree are opaque white, have five thin petals, and bloom in clusters. (Photo: Thuy Giang/Vietnam+)

The leaves of the storm tree are similar to the square banyan leaves, but thinner and smaller; they are soft and smooth, not as hard as the banyan leaves and are easily crushed. (Photo: Minh Anh/Vietnam+)

Storm trees are planted in long rows along the coast. (Photo: Thuy Giang/Vietnam+)

Trees grow vigorously and are full of life on Truong Sa Archipelago. (Photo: Thuy Giang/Vietnam+)
