As you wander around Warsaw, you will eventually observe an unusual landmark located at Rondo de Gaulle. Standing in the middle of the roundabout between Nowy Świat and Al. Jerozolimskie is a 49-foot-high Palm Tree. It should be noted Palm Trees do not grow in Poland. This giant tree is not real and part of an art project, called "Greetings from Jerusalem." Artist Joanna Rajkowska had the opportunity to visit Israel several years ago and was impressed by the beauty of that country. After returning to Poland, she decided to pay homage to the Jewish community that lived in the area. Hence the steel column, covered with natural bark and polyethylene leaves. This tree bends and the palm fronds blow in the wind. This tree looks like the real thing. Initially the Palm Tree was a curiosity and not well received. However, over the last two decades, the “tree” has grown on the hearts and minds of the citizens of Warsaw. It has become a symbol of Warsaw. A unique attraction well worth a visit.

We were on a city tour when our bus approached a traffic circle. Our tour guide pointed out the palm tree, mentioning it's an unlikely place to find one since Warsaw has pretty severe winters. Then he chuckled and said it was a fake...why a fake? Here?

First I looked at if this was a real one. Only later noticed that it is a part of art. It is nice anyway.

In a city that has so many sites and statues the Palm Tree makes for a wonderful contrast to some of the more powerful monuments in Warsaw.
We were heading to the famous street Nowy Swiat and this huge artificial palm tree is impossible to miss and to be honest it looks so life like .
Some will find it odd but I loved it and it makes for some great photographic opportunities and is now a landmark site.
The tree is found in the middle of the road by Nowy Swiat.
A great piece of street art and well worth checking out.

Such a landmark, this Palm tree. You can see it as you walk along, and it looks like a real palm. But it is a work of art, so well done and so amusing. Must look great in the snow, such a sight!

The polish artist Joanna Rajkowska got inspired from a tripp in Israel and decided to blend the beauty of Israel's nature with Warzaw, thus express something unthinkable.

The solution was to build a gigantic Palmtree on a rounfabout in one of the most busiest streets in Warzaw.

The artwork is called "Greetings from Jerusalem Avenue" and funny enough, that's also the name of the square.....

Fun Fact...

I saw the Palm Tree in Warsaw in January 2018. I would not necessarily go out of your way to see it. However, if you are planning to walk to Old Town by following the route of Aleje Jerozolimskie to Nowy Swiat on to Castle Square (a 30-minute walk), then you will pass it.

Not really much to see here, other than being a bit of oddity. It is central so not really hard to miss but not worth going out of the way for.

Not worth seeing as it is just a fake palm tree in a median in the city and that is it really.

You don't need to come here and see this.

A palm tree is the last thing that someone might think to find in a city with famous freezing winters, but it's a true thing, just that the tree is artificial an it's an actual artwork named "Greetings from Jerusalem Avenue" by Joanna Rajkowska.
Even if it looks quite kitchy, it still makes it a good and funny photo opportunity.
