Witseboom, Protected lime tree in Vlezenbeek, Belgium.
The Witseboom stands 16 meters tall with a trunk diameter of 69.39 centimeters, making it a substantial natural landmark in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw.
In 2010, Belgian minister Geert Bourgeois designated the Witseboom and a 28-meter surrounding area as a protected monument for its regional significance.
The tree gained recognition through its appearance in the Flemish television series Witse, which aired from 2004 to 2012 on the VRT network.
The protection status requires special permits for any modifications within the designated zone, ensuring the preservation of both the tree and its environment.
Local authorities maintain contingency plans to plant a new lime tree in the same location should the current Witseboom need replacement.
