    The beautiful oak is a striking pedunculate oak, which stands north of the Hessian Harreshausen. It is a column oak.
    This tree and its offspring produced by vegetative propagation form the variety Quercus robur 'Fastigiata'. It has attracted the attention of foresters, botanists and scientists because of its characteristic growth since its discovery in the 17th century. It is certain that all existing in Central and Northern Europe pillar oaks, which are also called because of their growth form pyramid or cypress oaks, derived from her.

    The Beautiful Oak does indeed have an interesting story. Information can be found on the National Heritage Tree website: nationalerbe-baeume.de/project/schoene-eiche-harreshausen-landkreis-darmstadt-dieburg A comprehensive and illustrated history of the tree can be found in the book "The Miracle Tree of Harreshausen" - here is the link to a PDF file:
