European Tree of the Year winner announced today

Balazs Gaspar · 21 03 2023

Since 2011, the European Tree of the Year contest has been searching for trees with the most interesting story in Europe. The 2023 winner will be announced today, 21 March.

The European Tree of the Year contest, inspired by the popular Czech Tree of the Year contest, has been held every year since 2011. The final consists of the winners of the national rounds. The sixteen nominees include an over-thousand-year-old plane tree from Bulgaria, five– and seven-hundred-year-old oaks from Latvia and Slovakia, a Ukrainian apple tree that has long lost its main trunk but is still alive, a lone Czech pear tree next to a former uranium mine, and a uniquely shaped Polish and a 440-meter-high Croatian oak tree. There’s also a rare purple beech on a small Estonian island and a Hungarian plane tree that has been growing on the ground for over 200 years.
