The girth and height of the tree measured in 1997 were 11.30 and 25 m, respectively. According to a legend the hollow tree served as a shelter for an old farmer copying the New Testament and Psalms. He used to sing while copying, and his voice merged with the rustling sound of the leafage. Thus the tree began to be called the Singing Lime.
