Basut-Chay State Reserve
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Basut-Chay State Reserve or Besitchay State Reserve was established on the area of 107 hectares in 1974 for preserving and protecting the rare Oriental plane-tree. The reserve covers the area around the Besitchay of the southeastern part of Minor Caucasus. [1]
[edit] Plane trees
The plane-trees make up 93.5% of Basut-Chay State Reserve area. In average, plane-trees live for 170 years. However, one can come across the plane-trees 1200-1500 years of age, 50 meters in height and 4 meters in diameter. [2]
The Basut-Chay State Reserve is occupied by Armenian forces and does not operate at present.
