According to the Register of Polish Monument Trees, the Dewajtis oak measured in 2013 had a trunk circumference of 5.80 m.

According to the Register of Polish Monumental Trees, the circumference of this plane tree was 7.07 meters in 2013, and it is known that the circumference of a living tree increases year by year. A photo of the tree with a short description can be found in Krzysztof Borkowski's album POLISH TREES (DALPO, Poznań 2014).

In the 18th century, known as the century of philosophers, Ignacy Krasicki was born in the castle, later Bishop of Warmia and Archbishop of Gniezno, poet and publicist, one of the main representatives of the Enlightenment in Poland, participant of the famous Thursday dinners of King Stanisław August Poniatowski. (...) Thanks to his intellectual qualities, Ignacy Krasicki was called the prince of poets and with this title he went down in history. Ignacy Krasicki took great care of his family park. From his trips abroad, he often sent his sister-in-law Róża née Charczewski new tree seedlings, which he ordered to be planted in the Dubiecko park with appropriate instructions.

"Dewajtis" is a magnificent oak tree growing in the castle courtyard. During Countess Konarska's life, she could often be found reading her favorite novels in the shadow of its crown. One of them was Rodziewiczówna's novel Dewajtis. This is also how she named her inseparable companion, who has been growing in the castle courtyard for over 300 years, i.e. since the birth of the prince of Polish poets Ignacy Krasicki in this place. The name of the town - Dubiecko, comes from the Russian word "dub", meaning oak, because there were many oaks in this area. Source and more: https://ogrody.podkarpackie.travel/trasy/dubiecko/

In the Zamkowa restaurant you can eat several interesting dishes, such as game dumplings, pork chop with potatoes baked into cubes similar to cheesecake on shortcrust pastry with cranberries (PLN 51) and apple pie with ice cream for PLN 24. The menu is available via the QR code in the attached photo. Those who like ice cream without apple pie can buy it at an ice cream stand about 50 m from the restaurant. Zielona Budka ice cream, a scoop PLN 7, a small selection of flavors but very good. WW

I have never seen such a plane tree in Poland, it has a thick trunk like a baobab from Africa. There are old oaks nearby, but their trunks are inferior to plane trees in terms of thickness. I regret not taking a 15 m measuring tape, so I could measure the circumference of these trees. WW ---------------------------- Over 700 trees (32 species) have been inventoried in the park area. The largest share in the species composition is made up of lime trees, maples, ashes and English oaks. Species of foreign origin also deserve a mention. Here we can list the stately London plane trees, ginkgo biloba and American tulip trees. The plane tree growing in the eastern part of the park has reached a circumference of over 6 m at breast height, which makes it one of the largest trees in Poland. Old trees make up a significant share of the stand and that is why there are over 70 natural monuments here. However, the most eye-catching feature is the stately oak tree growing in the courtyard – the 300-year-old Dewajtis. Source and more: https://ogrody.podkarpackie.travel/trasy/dubiecko/
