description

The tree has nine crown branches spread out like a tentacle. They arise already two meters above the ground from a very massive earth trunk covered with numerous thick growths.

The crown itself is well preserved in terms of the completely unprotected, open location: Storm damage can only be observed sporadically and the branches of the main axes are relatively fine up to the tips. Despite some trimmed stems, the crown diameter is more than 20 meters, the crown height is slightly less.

A wooden round bench surrounds the 6.75 meter trunk.
