TV-eken, Historical oak tree in Östermalm district, Stockholm, Sweden

The oak tree, with a circumference of 5.80 meters and a diameter of 2.00 meters, stood near the TV and Radio broadcasting buildings.

This centuries-old English oak tree remained untouched during the 1960s road expansion of Oxenstiernsgatan thanks to gardening master Holger Blom's intervention.

The tree became a symbol of environmental preservation when residents organized protests to prevent its removal in November 2011.

The Stockholm Traffic Office conducted multiple tomographic measurements and safety assessments before determining the tree needed removal due to internal decay.

After the tree's removal, officials collected and planted acorns from the original oak, creating a new sapling called 'Little Oak'.
