Oak of Bátaszék, Downy oak tree in Bátaszék, Hungary
The oak tree stands 17.5 meters tall in Tolna County, with thick branches extending outward and a sturdy trunk marked by centuries of growth.
This oak tree, dating between 300 and 400 years old, remains from an 18th-century forest and witnessed the construction of a nearby plague chapel.
The tree received national recognition when it won Tree of the Year in 2016 with 72,653 votes before advancing to the European competition finals.
Local farmers maintain the oak's health through regular pruning of dry branches and protective painting of the trunk to prevent diseases.
Following a traditional practice, residents pour wine on the tree trunk each year to ensure abundant grape harvests in their vineyards.
