The well-known “Wisdom Tree” at Xavier College in Ba has reportedly fallen after strong winds hit the area.

Photos shared online show the large tree lying on the ground following the heavy weather, bringing an end to a long-standing symbol familiar to generations of students.

The tree held a special place in the school’s history. For many years it was known as the “Wisdom Tree,” where students were sometimes sent to quietly reflect on their actions after breaking school rules.

Over time the tree became a symbol of reflection and school tradition, with many former students remembering it as part of their Xavier College experience.
