Deze boom (waarschijnlijk een koningslinde, zoals het gebruik is bij de traditie van het planten van bomen tijdens de machtswisselingen van de Oranjes (Wikipedia)) is geplant op 30 april 2013 ter ere van de troonswisseling van koningin Beatrix naar koning Willem Alexander. De boom staat in het hof van de St Victorkerk in Benschop. Er staat een smeedijzeren hek met een bordje rondom de boom.
