Anne Frank Tree, Heritage tree in Amsterdam-Centrum, Netherlands
The white horse chestnut tree stood in the courtyard garden of Keizersgracht 188, visible from the attic window of the Secret Annex.
From July 1942 to August 1944, Anne Frank mentioned the tree three times in her diary as a connection to nature during her confinement.
The tree became a universal symbol of freedom and nature, representing hope for those who face persecution and confinement worldwide.
After the original tree fell in 2010, numerous saplings were cultivated and distributed to museums, schools, and memorial sites across different countries.
Through a special window in the attic that remained uncovered, Anne Frank observed the changing seasons of this tree for more than two years.

These trees stand as natural monuments across the globe. Some are recognized for their age, like Old Tjikko in Sweden and Methuselah in California. Others, such as General Sherman and Hyperion, set records for size and height. The collection includes cultural landmarks like the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi in Sri Lanka and ecological wonders like the Dragon Blood Trees of Socotra. From ancient baobabs to giant sequoias, each specimen represents botanical heritage.
