Gilt against the Azure Sky. Corylus colurna, Turkish Hazel, Hortus Botanicus, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Here's part of the oldest tree in Amsterdam's Hortus Botanicus, a Turkish Hazel against Autumn Blue. It was planted here in 1795 when the Hortus had already been in this spot in the Amsterdam Plantage well over a hundred years (1682). The garden was founded in 1638 as a Hortus Medicus; and moved to new grounds at the central hospital in 1664. From there to the present location.
Despite its great age - more than 200 years old - our Wonderful Tree remains healthy and sturdy.
