Occurrence in Děčín |
The
oldest specimens are found in the chateau parks in Mariánské louka and U Tyrše
as well as in the forest park Bažantnice and in the park in the Jeronýmova
street (the main trees reach the trunk ø 80 cm). Younger people can be found in
the park on Loubská Street. The marked individual is definitely not one of the
biggest representatives of his kind, but he is interested in something else.
Many years ago, the original tree was felled or fell off, and in its place grew
a so-called four-stemmed polycorn. Near the earth it measures almost 0.8 m in
diameter, which corresponds to the original tree. In any case, it is one of the
most interesting native maple species that contributed to the dendroflora of
the local landscape. |
