About Yarendere Fıstık Çamı Tabiat Anıtı

The Yarendere Stone Pine Natural Monument is a single monumental stone pine at the Yarendere locality of Maltepe Mahallesi in Güzelbahçe, protected as a natural monument for its height and imposing form. The tree is about 150 years old. It reaches around 30 metres in height, with a trunk 1.3 metres across and a girth of about 4.1 metres, which makes it one of the most striking trees on this stretch of the southern shore of the Gulf of İzmir. Visit İzmir lists it among the nature sights of Güzelbahçe, with the regional forestry and water affairs directorate as the contact. It is a short stop to admire one remarkable tree rather than a park for a day out. A second protected stone pine, the Yemişçi Fıstık Çamı Tabiat Anıtı, stands about a kilometre to the west in Yalı.
