Statement of significance:

This tree fulfils the criteria of:

  • Outstanding Size (girth height spread)
  • Aesthetic value

This is a very healthy and particularly wellformed example of the species in a prominent location as an individual tree within the public reserve.

The tree has an outstanding canopy spread of approximately 20m, especially given it is a young-mature English Oak with very good potential for significant future growth. The tree is wider than it is tall.

The tree has great aesthetic value as it is located between two sport fields. It is striking in the landscape, contributing to the neighbourhood character and providing significant amenity to park users, especially giving shade to spectators watching sporting matches on the grounds.
