It is a registered natural monument of the Elbe-Elster district. Fröhlich describes the oak in Ways to Old Trees: "Rough trunk with board-like bark, strong dents and cavities. Three main axes from about 7 m in height. Narrowed crown with small leaves.” The oak really does have a coarse bark that you don't often see with such a girth. The oak looks older than the size would suggest. In the last 26 years since Fröhlich measured it, the trunk has increased in circumference by exactly 26 cm. With an annual increase in circumference of 1 cm, it grows very slowly. The trunk goes up a good 8 m without branching, before dividing into vertical branches. The crown is narrow and high. On the monumental trunk there is a wooden plaque with the inscription Holm oak, circumference 6 m, about 600 years. The sign must be very old, since the oak is much thicker. The vitality is still okay. Almost 400 m to the north-west is another thick oak, which has a trunk circumference of 6.16 m.
