Before World War II it had been estimated to be 450 years old[6]. Some sources state it is over 500 years old[2][1].
  • Dimensions: The avaliable data concerning Dewajtis' dimensions goes back to 1987. At that time the height of the tree was 28 m. The trunk diameter at breast height was 188 cm and its circumference was 591 cm[7]. Current tree measurements show that the circumference is between 640-680 cm[2].
  • Appearance: Dewajtis is a monumental oak with a single-stemmed hollow trunk. The boughs and branches of the tree are large and spread out vertically. The leaves are around 7-14 cm long and 4-8 cm wide, with a bright green color in the spring and summer that turns to brown in the autumn.The crown is irregularly shaped. The bark is thick and the trunk has a rugged, textured surface with natural grooves and knots. The bole shows signs of age, with cracks and gnarls.
  • Name: The name "Dewajtis" might come from Lithuanian mythology, where it is associated with a sacred oak tree. In Baltic mythology, trees, especially oaks, were often considered sacred and connected to gods or spirits.
