A plane tree has been named after a poet who has been selling his own poetry books under the tree for the last 58 years.

The 68-year-old Hüseyin Avni Dede started selling his poetry books and antiques with his father at the age of 10 under the plane tree at the entrance of Bookstores Bazaar in Istanbul's Beyazıt district.
