Najevnik lime tree

The Najevnik lime tree (Slovene: Najevska lipa, Najevnikov lipovec) in Ludranski Vrh, a small-leaved lime (Tilia cordata) specimen approximately 700 years old, has the largest trunk circumference of any tree in Slovenia (10.70 meters; its height is 24 m).^[4] The tree is named after the Najevnik Farm.^[5] It is a prominent veteran tree, which probably germinated around the time of the Ottoman invasions of Europe, around the time of the reign of King Matjaž.^[6] It is a place of cultural events, and every July or June a national meeting of Slovene politicians takes place under it.^[4][7]
