It’s huge size is breathtaking. It is located close to the ancient settlement of Kilindra (Late Minoan Era). Its diameter is 6.70m and its perimeter is 20,05m.
Based on its dimensions, considering its growth rate (0.7mm per year) and using the scientific method of trees chronology, its age is approximately 3000 years! That means that it is a sub-Minoan-early Geometric period tree (1100-800 B.C), which is very close to the nearby ancient settlement of Kilindra.
