Wildapfel im Fort Hahneberg

The wild apple tree belongs to the Malus prunifolia species and produces white five-petaled flowers in spring followed by small red fruits in autumn.

The tree stands in the right courtyard of Fort Hahneberg, with its age initially estimated at 80-100 years when it received protected status in 2001.

This natural monument represents an essential element of Berlin's botanical heritage, particularly notable for its size and age within the region.

A protective fence surrounds the tree trunk to prevent grazing sheep and goats from damaging the bark, ensuring its continued preservation.

The tree displays excellent health conditions and grows in soil that shifted into the courtyard around 1947 during post-war modifications.
