    Several other trees on this property are also registered including a pair of Mexican Fan Palms (Washingtonia robusta) and a Spotted Gum (Corymbia maculata).

    These Tallowwoods are an uncommon species within Glen Eira, made all the more significant by having three mature and healthy examples located within the one property that shares a long boundary with a prominent public reserve.

    • Glen Eira Asset ID

    Statement of significance:

    These trees fulfil the criteria of:

    • Horticultural or genetic value
    • Unique location or context
    • Rare or localised distribution
    • Particularly Old Specimen
    • Outstanding size (girth height spread)
    • Aesthetic value
    • Outstanding example of the species
    • Outstanding habitat and biodiversity value

    One example is particularly large and well-formed, making it a potentially valuable source of propagating stock in the future. All three trees are particularly old examples, estimated to be over 80 years of age, and of outstanding size for trunk girth, height and canopy spread. They are all outstanding example of the species based on their size, health and rarity within the local area, and they all are striking within the landscape with high visual presence from the public realm. They make a major contribution to the neighbourhood character and provide substantial amenity to the community.

    In addition, as large, flowering native trees, they are also a vital food resource for wildlife in the area
