Markh

Markh is the Kurdish name of a tree in Khorasan, Iran, some of which are more than two thousand years old.

This tree cannot be propagated in greenhouse conditions and only reproduces in nature and in very difficult conditions, and if the conditions for the growth of the tree are provided, it grows only one centimeter per year.

sheep grazing, fire and cutting of these old trees have put them in danger of extinction.
