The tree has been green for over 100 years and spreads over an area of 2,500 square meters, which makes it a tourist hot spot.

Borobudur, or Barabudur, is a 8th-century Mahayana Buddhist monument near Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. The monument comprises six square platforms topped by three circular platforms, and is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues. A main dome, located at the center of the top platform, is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues seated inside perforated stupa. The largest restoration project was undertaken between 1975 and 1982 by the Indonesian government and UNESCO, following which the monument was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From: wikipedia.
Java is the world's most densely populated regions (population: 136 million). It is home to 60% of Indonesia's population. Much of Indonesian history took place on Java; it was the centre of powerful Hindu-Buddhist empires, Islamic sultanates, the core of the colonial Dutch East Indies, and was at the centre of Indonesia's campaign for independence. The island dominates Indonesian social, political and economic life. More information on wikipedia.

Richland County. Java was located on the south side of the Missouri River and straddled the Montana/North Dakota state line. It was named for the first postmaster, Anton Jevnager, who also owned the local grocery and hardware store. A post office was active in Java from 1907 (July 1) to 1913 (March 22). Immediately across the Missouri River (and visible in the photo) from the site of Java is the reconstructed Fort Union.
