Statement of Significance
Located at the rear of the property and about one metre from the southern boundary. Eucalyptus prava (Orange Gum) is rarely grown in Victoria and the National Herbarium has recorded only 6 other trees, one of which has since been removed. Two young trees planted in 1996 also occur at the Peter Francis Points Arboreteum, Coleraine. This tree is very attractive in the landscape - free-flowering, peeling bark and blue-green leaves; and due to its size and location and screening a block of flats to the south, is an important landscape specimen.
