Adamcova oskeruše, Service tree on Žerotín hill near Strážnice, Czech Republic

Adamcova oskeruše is a wild service tree (Sorbus torminalis) on the northern slope of Žerotín hill in the White Carpathians, about 400 m below the summit. It reaches 17 m in height, with a trunk circumference of 460 cm and a crown 18 m across.

This service tree originated around 1650 and ranks among the oldest examples of its kind in the area. In 2004 it received official protection status as a natural monument due to its age and ecological importance.

The tree gives its name to the Oskorušová naučná stezka, an educational trail that runs directly around the protected trees on Žerotín hill. The hill is known for having the highest concentration of old service trees in the southern White Carpathians, with about 20 trees over 100 years old.

The tree stands on the northern slope of Žerotín hill, about 400 metres from the summit, in an orchard-and-vineyard area. A yellow-marked hiking trail runs west of the trunk, and the Oskorušová educational trail passes directly around the protected trees.

This tree grows at an unusually slow pace, adding only about one centimeter to its circumference each year. Despite its age, it maintains a remarkably compact form that sets it apart from other old trees in the region.
