Meet 'Dikke Eugène', a six-metre thick poplar. Together with more than 400 different trees and shrubs, it is located in the Groenendaal Arboretum, one of the 26 Belgian botanical gardens and arboreta. The Groenendaal Arboretum was constructed at the end of the 19th century at the initiative of King Leopold II.
