It is named after its discoverer, forest ranger Kostadin Baikushev,[1][2] and is located near the Banderitsa refuge. With an estimated age of about 1,300 years,[1] Baikushev's pine is one of the oldest trees in Europe and is arguably contemporary with Bulgaria's founder, Khan Asparukh. It has a height of 24 m (79 ft), is 2.22 m (7 ft 3 in) in diameter (7.8 m (26 ft) in circumference).[1]
