Wilson's Stump
At 13.8 m in circumference,
this is the largest
stump in Yakushima. It
is claimed that the tree
was felled roughly 400
years ago. Inside there
is a cavity of about 16.5
m2 from which a spring
wells up. It was named
after Dr. Wilson, who
made the world aware
of Yakusugi trees.
* The "trunk circumference" refers to the length measured at a height of approximately 1.3m above the ground.
