Witcher, Natural monument European white elm in Komorów, Poland
The Witcher is a European white elm in Komorów with a trunk circumference of approximately 9 meters and a height of about 19 meters. The tree displays a large cavity at its base and an irregular crown with widely spreading branches.
The tree is estimated to be over 460 years old and suffered significant crown damage during a severe thunderstorm in 2004. This storm left a lasting mark on its appearance and structure.
The community chose the name Witcher through a public vote, though locals also call it Mieszko to honor Poland's first ruler. This naming reflects how the place has become part of the area's identity and local pride.
A protective fence has surrounded this natural monument since 1971 to prevent damage and ensure its preservation. Visitors should respect the barrier and observe from a distance to help protect this ancient specimen.
The tree displays distinctive buttress roots that are characteristic of very old white elms. This unusual root formation helps botanists understand how ancient trees adapt and remain stable over centuries.
