国内で幹周2位にランク付けされている巨木です。樹皮に特徴があり、暗褐色または灰褐色で、浅く縦に裂け、不規則な割れ目ができます。粗く長い鱗片になって剥がれるため、特異な外観です。全国でも個体数が少なく、大変貴重な巨木です。
Among the recorded "giant" Japanese hop hornbeams in Japan, this tree has the second largest trunk circumference in the country. Its bark presents a unique pattern, alternating between dark brown and taupe, with shallow vertical tears and irregular cracks. Its peculiar appearance owes in part to the way its bark peels off in long, coarse scales. There are very few giant trees like this one in Japan, making it very valuable.
