Statement of Significance
A fine specimen tree with a self explanatory plaque. The tree was planted by Her Excellency Lady Denman on 9 April 1913 to commemorate the visit to Fernshaw on 15 May 1901 of Queen Mary, the Duchess of York. The acorn from which the Oak was grown was sent to Melbourne from the Royal Garden Windsor Castle.
