    Statement of significance:

    This tree fulfils the criteria of:

    • Outstanding size (girth height spread)
    • Aesthetic value

    Although typical of mature examples of the species, this tree is of outstanding size for its trunk girth which is over 6m around, as well as canopy spread which provides
    substantial shading and cooling over the paved recreational yard of the school.

    The tree provides amenity for students and staff, and the loss of this tree would be a loss for the municipality as a whole.
