The tree is easy to access directly from the roadside and remains open year-round for visits. Weather and season will affect conditions at the site, so visitors should come prepared for ground and path conditions that may vary.

The trunk measures approximately 4.5 meters around and displays an unusual shape that resembles an open hand when viewed from above. This rare growth pattern makes it a particularly notable natural specimen.
