Silkebuche, Natural monument near Groß Schönebeck, Germany
The Silkebuche stands in the forests of Eichheide, measuring 19 meters in height with a trunk circumference that reached 6.55 meters in 2014.
This remarkable beech tree, planted around 1760, developed for over 260 years until its final collapse between July and August 2021.
The Silkebuche holds importance within the Barnim Nature Park, where forests occupy 55 percent of the protected area's total surface.
Regular measurements between 2007 and 2014 indicated the tree's trunk circumference increased by approximately 5 centimeters annually until 2013.
Scientists Andreas Gomolka and Frank Gyssling conducted detailed studies of this beech tree, documenting its growth patterns through photographs and measurements.
