Pushkin's Oak on Tverskoy Boulevard, Protected oak tree on Tverskoy Boulevard, Moscow, Russia

Pushkin's Oak on Tverskoy Boulevard is a protected oak tree standing along the central pedestrian path of this Moscow boulevard. The tree reaches about 19 m (62 ft) tall and has a broad, gnarled trunk with wide-spreading branches.

The oak was planted in 1814, as Moscow was being rebuilt after the French invasion of 1812. That period shaped much of the boulevard's layout, including the rows of trees that still line the pedestrian path today.

The oak is named after Alexander Pushkin, who often visited Tverskoy Boulevard. In December 1828, at a ball held by dance master Yogel on the site of today's No. 22 (now the Gorky Moscow Art Theatre), the poet first met Natalia Goncharova. The tree stands opposite No. 14с1.

The tree stands along the central section of Tverskoy Boulevard and is easy to reach on foot from several nearby metro stations. Choosing a quieter time of day helps, as the boulevard can be busy during mornings and early evenings.

On 27 June 2012, experts from the Centre for Tree Expertise examined the oak under the nationwide programme "Trees — Monuments of Living Nature". They took core samples and established in the dendrochronological laboratory of Moscow State University's Forest Faculty that the tree has existed since 1814. A plaque beside it gives the age as 200 years.
