【杭州东岳庙两株500余岁古楸树繁花满枝】本周，杭州吴山东岳庙内两株530多岁的楸树花满枝头，馨香满院。从空中俯瞰，它们宛若两朵巨大的紫牡丹，在翠绿环抱中显得格外清新，引得市民游客纷至沓来。2015年，东岳庙内这两株古楸树入围杭州“最美古树”评选。2018年挂牌时确定树龄为530年。楸树为紫葳科梓属落叶乔木，是为数不多的古老活化石树种之一。 Two ancient Manchurian catalpa trees are now in full blossom at Dongyue Temple in Hangzhou City, east China's Zhejiang Province.
