The Tree of Hippocrates is a plane tree (platane) on the Greek island of Kos under which, according to legend, Hippocrates ("the father of medicine") taught his students. Here is an image of a stamp depicting the Tree of Hippocrates, designed by A. Tassos, printed by lithography, and issued by Greece on September 21, 1959 as one of a set of seven stamps commemorating the centenary of the Red Cross idea, Scott No. 657, plus a photo of the tree, now supported by metal scaffolding. Note: The current tree is only about 500 years old, but it may be a descendant of the original tree which allegedly stood there 2400 years ago, in Hippocrates's time.

Another great thread I have just discovered! This stamp was issued in honor of the Linden tree in Himmelsberg. It is estimated to be 750 years old and measures 9 meters in circumference, is 25 meters high. It is one of the typical Linden trees (Tilia) which stood in the center of a village and under which all sorts of town meetings and celebrations took place. The stamp commemorates the 30th anniversary of the tree being recognized as a national nature monument. Design by Lüdcke, note the twig with leaf in the border of the sheet. (Germany, 2001, both pfennig 110 and € 0.56 were valid at that time.)

Hi, I forgot to add this picture of the Himmelsberg Linden tree which I borrowed from the web. As you see, it's right next to the church.
