Statement of Significance
Contribution to landscape
Outstanding size
Aesthetic value
This Pin Oak (Quercus palustris) is believed to have been planted in the early 1920s at the time of the house's construction. It has a significant impact upon the quality of the surrounding landscape and contributes to the tree canopy of Sturt Street. The form of the tree is not completely ideal due to its co-dominant habit that begins close to the base, however this has not impacted the tree's structural integrity.
The tree is healthy and displays full and dense canopy. It has historically received periodic pruning and was irrigated during the drought of the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Due to its location, its current health and structural condition, and the current owner's enthusiasm for care of the tree, this Pin Oak has sound prospects for longevity.
