old Fruit-growing and Viticulture school 1969 (original tree c.1830), 25 m, with (basal) chichi
This tree in
Maribor has aerial chichi. The tree also developed basal chichi;
when the original tree (c.1830) was blown down in a storm in 1969 this
tree was 8 m high. An aerial chichi grew out of the damaged part
of the young stem reaching the ground and developing roots of its own.
In addition a group of new sprouts, basal chichi, emerged from the damaged
roots of the old tree.
