Urbaum der Apfelsorte Jakob Fischer, Natural monument tree in Steinhausen an der Rottum, Germany.
The Jakob Fischer apple tree stands in the Paradise Street of Rottum, reaching 13 meters in height with a trunk circumference of 1.75 meters.
In 1903, farmer Jakob Fischer discovered a small apple tree near his forest property and transplanted it to his garden, where it grew into this specimen.
The town celebrates an annual Jakob Fischer Festival and named the square in front of the community center after this agricultural pioneer in 2012.
The apples from this variety ripen in early September and remain fresh for four weeks, making them suitable for eating, baking, and making compotes.
Scientists at Dresden's Julius Kühn Institute successfully created genetic clones of this tree to preserve its heritage when the original showed signs of decay.
