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" comes from ancient Slavic beliefs. In Lithuanian language a word root "dev" ("diev") means "god"[8]. According to some sources "Dievaitis" belonged to the pantheon of deities worshipped by Baltic peoples[9]. In Lithuanian mythology (as part of the Baltic mythology) trees, especially oaks, were often considered sacred and connected to gods or spirits[9]. In avaliable sources there is no information from when the oak in Wola Osowinska gained its alias.The oldest inhabitants of the village say "that it has always been called "Dewajtis""[10].

In this story "Dewajtis" is the name of a symbolic oak tree around which much of the plot revolves. The novel emphasizes themes of patriotism and nature. Rodziewiczówna uses the oak tree as a powerful symbol of Polish national identity, strenght, and the deep connection between people and their land[11][12]. The tree in the novel stands for a guardian of tradition and heritage, which resonates with the historical importance of the Dewajtis oak in Wola Osowińska.
