Tassilolinde
The Tassilolinde is a winter linden ( Tilia cordata ) near the monastery wall in Wessobrunn , Upper Bavaria. It was named after the Bavarian Duke Tassilo III. who, after a modern embellishment of the monastery founding legend under the linden tree, had the dream of founding the Wessobrunn monastery . The linden tree is 25 meters high and its crown is 27 meters in diameter. The trunk has a circumference of about 14 meters, which is the third largest circumference of a linden tree in Bavaria, after the tungsten linden tree with 16 meters and the Kasberger linden tree with 15.8 meters. The exact age of the tree is not known, but like most very old and very thick trees, it is considered "millennial". However, even the oldest linden trees are unlikely to reach this age.
