Statement of Significance

These specimens of Pyrus pashia make a significant aesthetic contribution to the stately garden of Anlaby. They are linked to a notable Anlaby identity and his head gardener. The planting of these Wild Himalayan Pears at the beginning of the twentieth century are part of a long history and tradition of plant and tree collection by the Dutton Family from all over the world. The uniform height to canopy spread of these specimens is within the noted dimensions for the species. The seasonal silhouettes make these specimens outstanding and note-worthy examples of the species. There are very few specimens of Wild Himalayan Pears of this age and size in South-Eastern Australia. They may be the earliest planting of the species still in existence in the South Australia.
