LIME TREE OF GRETTSTADT

Apart from dancing lime trees, three other types of lime trees can be found in the countryside and in villages and towns :
- Simple lime trees, also called village lime trees.
- Justice lime trees : in past times the legal business of the village was dealt with under the lime tree’s branches.
- Storied lime trees : lime trees whose branches were trained horizontally to create up to three stories or more. This photo is of the outstanding Grettstadt lime tree, which has ten stories.
