Features and characters of the individual
This tree was added by the garden’s connoisseurs. “The Persian Oak normally grows in Turkey, Georgia, northern Iran and the Caucasus region. It is planted right against the underground tunnel of the Nord-Midi rail junction. The subsoil certainly contains enough remnants from the construction work to be reminiscent of the stony terrain of the tree’s native region. It has grown rapidly ever since it was planted in 1996. It is a tree for the future when cities have dry and hot climates.” From the footbridge you can see its leaves clearly.”
