A boundary tree is a plain job: it marks where one man's land stops and the next begins. This oak at Flurweg 19 in Morzg once did that for the old Davidengut, a farm of the district, and when the fields around it were turned into building land it was left standing at the edge of them. In 1989 the province of Salzburg protected it as a natural monument. The register entry for the tree is the oldest kind of record in the city, a plot reduced to a few dozen square metres around a single trunk. The list of Salzburg's natural monuments calls it widely visible, and that is how you should plan to meet it: from the public road, looking at the tree at the point where the building land begins. The plot at Flurweg 19 is most likely private, so this is a tree to see from the street and not to walk up to. We do not know its species beyond oak, and nobody has recorded its age, girth or height. A tree that was a boundary marker for a farm is likely to be old, but likely is not a fact, and we will not print a number. What we have is a firm location, a documented purpose and a protection that has held for over thirty years. If you know more, tell us.
