Netanya’s ancient sycamore tree

Gardens and Parks in Caesarea & Netanya

Mintz Street in Netanya holds a great surprise for its visitors: a huge Ficus Sycomorus tree estimated to be between 600 and 1,200 years old! The height of this sycamore tree is 8 meters, the diameter of its top is 25 meters and the diameter of its trunk is 5 meters. This beautiful sycamore tree is situated within a well-kept municipal garden and at its feet is found a large painting of this same sycamore tree from 1873. They say that Moses and Judith Montefiore rested under its shade and that even the soldiers of Napoleon have done so many years before that on their way to Acre. Netanya’s ancient sycamore tree is located on Mintz Street, opposite of house number 8, near the MDA.
