Kaditz Lime Tree

The lime tree of Kaditz is a natural landmark situated in the churchyard of Emmaus Church in Kaditz, a district of Dresden in Saxony, Germany. The large-leaved lime tree is 20 metres high and is estimated to be between 500 and 1,000 years old. The girth of the trunk is about 10 metres. In 1818 the tree was badly damaged by a huge fire in the village, which caused the trunk to split in two.
