Statement of Significance
This Manna Gum is an outstanding example of the species. It is a large, impressive tree and makes a considerable contribution to the landscape. It is thought to be one of the few remnant trees left in the Foster area from before land clearing took place.
The local community have incorporated the tree into a park, "Manna Park", named after the tree.
This specimen has a large symmetrical canopy and is in excellent health. It appears that it is growing at the southernmost end of its natural geographical range.
