Statement of Significance

Female Tree. An outstanding specimen of this native of China and by far the largest in Victoria and presumably Australia. Possibly the largest in cutivation. This tree is in excellent condition although wind and crowding has forced the growth in one direction.<BR>Located 30 metres East of Traill Fountain<
