Dąb Beczka, Natural monument in Puszcza Białowieska, Poland.

The oak tree exhibits a massive trunk circumference of 760 centimeters and reaches a height exceeding 30 meters in the forest landscape.

First documented in the late 1970s by Jacek Wysmułek, the tree was registered as a natural monument and lived approximately 450 years until 1992.

The name originates from its barrel-shaped trunk, which developed due to the influence of oak polypore fungus on the lower section.

Educational materials and programs about the tree are available at the Białowieska Forest visitor center, offering insights into ancient tree preservation.

The tree holds the record for the largest trunk circumference measured at 130 centimeters from the base within its forest region.
