From Monday, August 1, the city of Košice has a new protected tree – the small-leaved lime tree on Letná Street.
A dominant element of the Malá Praha I courtyard, the approximately 100-year-old tree is about 15 metres high, its crown has a diameter of 16 metres and the circumference of its trunk is 237 centimetres.
Four years ago, it received the title Tree of Freedom because it was planted during the First Czechoslovak Republic.
Activists are also pleased with the new addition.

There is a protected zone within a 12-metre radius from the trunk of the lime.
