Inside the trunk, there is a hollow large enough to shelter 15-20 people, which locals have turned into a church, visiting it every Sunday. The tree has 12 large branches symbolizing the 12 disciples of Christ. According to the residents of Sarigyugh, it is around 2000 years old.
There is a legend that the tree self-ignites every seven years. According to the legend, King Ashot II the Iron planted the tree in the 920s.
