Bukoshi Oak

The Bukoshi Oak is a natural heritage monument of botanical character, located in the village of Bukosh in Vushtrri Municipality, Kosovo.

[1][2] The Bukoshi Oak is an oak tree (genus Quercus) with trunk perimeter dimensions which at the base of the trunk are 3.10 cm (1.22 in) while the maximum length / height of its crown is about 22 m (72 ft ).

Its exact age is not known, but it is said that when the construction of the railway line [1] Skopje - Fushë Kosova - Mitrovica began, this oak was a small sapling near a freshwater spring.

(It is known that the construction of this railway was completed in 1874).

Near the oak, at the site of a former freshwater spring, there is now a well, which also gives the monument a hydrological character too.
