Statement of Significance

This specimen of Afrocarpus falcatus makes a significant aesthetic contribution to the stately garden of Anlaby. It is linked to a prominent nineteenth century Anlaby identity, his Head Gardener and their development of the historic pastoral property. The dense growth habit, health and vigour of this specimen are outstanding. It is a noteworthy example of the species which has been dry grown in rural South Australia for over one hundred years.
