The Giant Plane

The Giant is a London plane tree, located in the city Chojna, Poland.

[1] The name of the tree in Polish – Olbrzym – means a very large, huge thing (even a person).

[2] The Giant is about 300 years old, according to the dendrochronological research,[3] and once stood in the Viereck'scher Garten.

It is a monumental, 35 m[4] tall tree with a trunk circumference of 1066 cm (in 2014, at the narrowest place, 0.45 m high).

[1][4] The tree is preserved by the local government because it had been set on fire several times.
