Its bark is grey-brown, remaining smooth for a long time before becoming longitudinally furrowed and later cracked into transverse plates. The root system is deep and well-branched. The leaves are broadly heart-shaped with a short pointed tip and serrated margins, measuring 8 to 12 cm. The upper leaf surface is green, while the underside is lighter in color, slightly hairy along the veins, with white tufts of hairs in the vein axils. The large-leaved linden has yellowish-white, bisexual, highly fragrant flowers arranged in cymes of two to three flowers. It flowers in June, and after pollination, the flowers develop into round to oval nut-like fruits covered with dense grey hairs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Old Olive Tree on Brijuni\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe olive tree (Olea europaea L.), from the olive family (Oleaceae), is an evergreen shrub or tree with a branched crown, growing up to 10 meters tall. The bark is grey-green and smooth until about the tenth year, after which it becomes knotted, wrinkled, deeply furrowed, and takes on a dark, almost black color, becoming firm and resistant even to decay. The olive tree’s root system is generally shallow, penetrating only 90–120 cm into the soil. The leaves are opposite, entire, leathery, ovate-lanceolate or elliptical in shape, with blunt or pointed tips, averaging 2–8 cm in length. The upper surface of the leaf is dark to light green, while the underside is silvery-grey. The flowers are small, bisexual, white-greenish in color, and appear clustered in panicles. During flowering, from April to June, they emit a characteristic fragrance. The fruit is a fleshy drupe, oval in shape, which begins developing in summer and reaches maturity around September, with some cultivars changing color from yellow or red to dark purple or black. Olive trees begin bearing fruit after seven years, with peak yields reached only after about twenty years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriental Plane Tree in Trsteno\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Oriental plane tree (Platanus orientalis L.), from the plane tree family (Platanaceae), is a deciduous tree with an irregular, sparse crown, typically reaching heights of 30 to 40 meters. The bark is smooth and mottled in shades of brown and grey, peeling off in large patches; in old age, it becomes grey, plate-like and finely cracked. The root system is very strong and extensively branched, penetrating deeply and widely into the soil and ensuring the tree’s stability. The leaves are simple, alternate, thinly leathery, 10 to 30 cm long and wide, palmately divided into five, less commonly three or seven, sharp lobes that narrow at the base and have deeply and coarsely serrated margins.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIn autumn, the leaves turn brown or dark reddish-brown. The flowers are inconspicuous, unisexual, and arranged in hanging globular inflorescences. Flowering occurs in April, simultaneously with leaf emergence. The fruits are small, dry, inverted-cone-shaped nutlets with tufts of brown hairs at the base. They remain on the shoots throughout winter and disintegrate on the tree during the first warmer days of spring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HSE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48700274639097,"sku":null,"price":2.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/5233\/files\/2026croCroatianFlora-MonumentalTreesOfCroatia.jpg?v=1784754308","url":"https:\/\/www.buyhungarianstamps.com\/products\/croatia-2026-croatian-flora-monumental-trees-of-croatia-set-of-3-mnh","provider":"Hungaria Stamp Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
