福(fu)(fu)州大榕樹(shu),又稱中(zhong)國榕樹(shu)王,位(wei)于福(fu)(fu)建省福(fu)(fu)州市國家森林公園內。
福(fu)州國家森林公園里的這株“千年(nian)古榕(rong)”,其樹冠(guan)遮(zhe)天蔽日,蓋地(di)十多(duo)畝,樹冠(guan)為福(fu)州十大古榕(rong)之(zhi)首,故稱“榕(rong)樹王”。
這(zhe)棵(ke)古榕(rong)(rong)(rong)(rong)(rong)小葉(xie)榕(rong)(rong)(rong)(rong)(rong),屬(shu)桑科榕(rong)(rong)(rong)(rong)(rong)屬(shu)常綠喬(qiao)木,又(you)名紅皮榕(rong)(rong)(rong)(rong)(rong)。是北宋治平(ping)年(nian)(nian)間福州太守張伯玉編戶(hu)植榕(rong)(rong)(rong)(rong)(rong)時種下的(de)(de),距今已有(you)900多(duo)年(nian)(nian)的(de)(de)歷(li)史了。該樹圍9m多(duo),高50多(duo)m,冠幅1330多(duo)㎡,可謂“榕(rong)(rong)(rong)(rong)(rong)蔭遮半天(tian)”,也叫“鳥的(de)(de)天(tian)堂”。這(zhe)棵(ke)榕(rong)(rong)(rong)(rong)(rong)樹奇特(te)之處就是它兩邊的(de)(de)葉(xie)子(zi)落葉(xie)不同時,據有(you)關人員(yuan)研究介紹:這(zhe)棵(ke)榕(rong)(rong)(rong)(rong)(rong)樹很(hen)可能是兩株榕(rong)(rong)(rong)(rong)(rong)樹生(sheng)長在一塊,而不是一株。又(you)因小葉(xie)榕(rong)(rong)(rong)(rong)(rong)沒有(you)氣根(gen)柱(zhu)地(di),為了支(zhi)持沉(chen)重的(de)(de)橫向(xiang)主干,避免主干折斷,森林公園(yuan)的(de)(de)巧匠塑造了仿(fang)氣根(gen)混凝土柱(zhu)支(zhi)撐逐(zhu)年(nian)(nian)向(xiang)外伸長的(de)(de)榕(rong)(rong)(rong)(rong)(rong)樹主干。因其位于湖邊,烈日(ri)下,波光倒(dao)影,映著古榕(rong)(rong)(rong)(rong)(rong)枝(zhi)繁(fan)葉(xie)茂,蒼勁挺拔的(de)(de)英(ying)姿,煞(sha)是壯觀(guan),現已成為森林公園(yuan)內的(de)(de)一大著名景點(dian)。
