Debreceni líciumfa, Remarkable tree at Kálvin Square in Debrecen, Hungary
The Lycium tree stands in front of a former episcopal palace, next to the Great Reformed Church of Debrecen, reaching an unusual tree height.
During the 1956 revolution, a Soviet tank nearly knocked down the tree while targeting surrounding buildings in the city center of Debrecen.
This tree symbolizes the establishment of Reformed faith in Hungary, with a plaque near its base detailing its religious significance.
The protected natural monument sits behind a fence built in 1939, located 300 meters from the nearest bus stop and 1.4 kilometers from the train station.
Despite being a common Lycium barbarum species that typically grows as a shrub, this specimen has developed into a full-sized tree over 200 years.
