Features and characters of the individual
This tree grows in an understated way on an embankment just above a playground, exuding a certain benevolent force. This guardian, with its straight trunk, beckons families in the spring with its soft green foliage that contrasts with its dark bark. A regular yet very cracked bark is characteristic of this species. In the summer, its trunk is a pillar that provides beautiful shade – good for play or chatting.
