The total of 35 splendid pear trees was inventoried in the Citadel Park and they constitute approximately 13% of the most valuable trees in this park. The circumferences of the measured trees ranged from 150 to 264 cm. Considerable circumferences were determined in the case of 32 pear trees, of which 11 trees had monumental circumferences and 21 specimens – close to monumental circumferences. From among 14 trees found to be in a very good health condition and having monumental or close to monumental circumferences, “candidates” for legal protection in the form of nature monuments should be selected.
