Registers occasionally list the same tree twice under two addresses, a real problem elsewhere on this site, and this plane is a genuine check against exactly that mistake: it stands on a separate legal plot from the park's other two designated trees, a hundred and seventy metres away, protected four months later in a separate 2000 decision. Not a duplicate, a third tree completing the Volksgarten's own small collection of protected specimens. It grows near the Volksgartenstrasse entrance rather than the Muhlgasse side where its two neighbours stand, which means a visitor can enter the park from either street and find a protected tree within a few steps. Graz's city register and Wikipedia's independent list place it within three metres of each other. As with its neighbours, nobody has published an age or a trunk measurement, which any reader with a tape measure could fix in the time it takes to walk the park end to end.
The line is our estimate of how much there is to see, not a measurement. Typical for this species where this tree stands; exact weeks shift with the year.
Volksgarten, Volksgartenstrasse, 8020 GrazYou can recognise it by standing apart from the park's other two protected trees, 170 metres away near the Volksgartenstrasse entrance. It stands on its own legal plot rather than beside its Muhlgasse neighbours.
