Description of coat of arms and some historical background (in English):

Which tells us that the arms are "Heater erect, argent. Issuing from a
flat-topped mount vert adorned with three four-pointed stars borne in a triangle
transposed a demi-willow sable rooted in the edges of the mount; issuant
symmetrically from its pollarded four-cleft crown twelve leaved branches vert.",
though I'm not exactly sure about the terminology.
I'm not sure how much to quote of the rest. However, that rest does include
references to twelve branches and five roots. We've copied our source very well,
but unfortunately our source has more than twelve branches. Does anyone have a
better source? (At the last moment decided to slightly accent the fifth rot that
was nigh-invisible on this scale. A separate image of the arms might work better,
though.)

I checked it in Hungarian version, and it also says about 12 branches. There
are 17 branches on the image. It seems that this description is totally wrong,
because the regulation of municipal coat of arms (1993/48.) does not mention anything
about the number of branches, neither about number of roots. It states only the
tree.

Even the municipal website shows the coat of arms images in same style (more than 12
branches):

Regarding the flag image, green stripes are a bit darker than illustrated it. It
is an original flag picture.

I used a standard shade of green for them. There's more on that in the
FotW colour guide, but basically the idea is to
not use very detailed colour differences, unless there's a specific reason for
it.
Such a reason might be that the organisation precisely described RGB values (which
in itself is a bit odd, since your monitor will show them different from my
monitor). Generally, a photograph is not considered a reason to use a specific
shade of colour, since photographs depend a lot on the lighting, and two
photographs of the exact same flag will show different shades of colour.
I have two photographs that show the same flag (design), but demonstrate how
wide colour shades can vary. They have both been posted to the list before
though, so I hesitate to post them.
I have seen that image too; that's how I knew where the fifth root was
supposed to be.
