Lycium Tree - Lycium Tree

A tree that appears to be a bush. I'm sorry this plant got such an ugly name. The 5 stars were given to the plant, not its namesake.

I love your story. We would think of it as an average tree if we did not know the reason for its existence there. ?

In Debrecen, next to the Great Church, on the corner of Múzeum utca, there is the Lycian Tree of ecclesiastical significance, which has grown into a tree, a devil's thread bush, which makes it a botanical rarity. Anyone who goes for it, take a look, read the board and smile with one of the legends :)

Classy. Its story is interesting.

It is spectacular, beautiful and special, especially when its branches are covered in leaves! One of the sights of Debrecen ...!

A nearly 200-year-old tree, the Lyceum Tree. For well over 200 years, the bishop of Oradea sent the canons of Ambrozius to return the stubborn Reformed. Bálint, the caretaker of the Reformed souls, and Ambrosius argued. The Catholic “champion” tore off a twig from a devil’s thread bush (Lyceum bush). He stabbed the branch into the ground and said, "There will be something of new faith when the high school stuck in the ground grows into a tree." Bálint replied: "Then there will be a tree." He has been living with the shabby cauldron of the horrible wooden bumblebee ever since, proclaiming the triumph of the Reformation.

The lychee tree in Debrecen is a small tree in the vicinity of the Reformed Great Church in Debrecen, in front of the building that once served as a bishop's palace, on Múzeum utca and Kálvin tér, a specimen of the common devil's thread, Kálvin tér. It is a natural rarity in this growth. According to the tradition of Debrecen, the priest Bálint, the apostle of the Reformation, argued with a Catholic priest named Ambrozius. In the heat of the controversy, Ambrozius broke off a lychee and laughed it down into the ground and said, "Then this religion will become something when it grows into a tree!" Priest Bálint replied with unwavering faith: "Then it will become wood!" And it really became wood. The Reformed religion also became the most prosperous in Debrecen. In fact, the priest's apartment, the window of which was shaded, was built in 1764 for Bishop Samuel Szilágyi, on the site of the parish inhabited by Méliusz. There was a small garden in front of the window and the lychee grew in it. ”
