The Marash Maple is a natural monument in Marash Park in Prizren.[1]
Key Information
History
[edit]A maple tree stands in Marash Park along the Prizren Bistrica.[2] In the Marash neighborhood nearby there was once a khanqah or Sufi monastery known locally as a tekke, whose founder is said to have planted the tree.[3] The tree was legally protected in 1959[4] and is scientifically estimated to be over 400 years old (though legends stretch the age to 500 years). The Marash maple is 20.9 metres (69 ft) with a crown 12 metres (39 ft) in diameter, a trunk 3 metres (9.8 ft) in circumference at the base, and leaves 13 centimetres (5.1 in) to 14 centimetres (5.5 in) long. The tree lies 417 metres (1,368 ft) above sea level.[5]
