Statement of Significance
Horticultural value
Contribution to landscape of historic garden
Rare or localised
Aesthetic value
This specimen was planted by the gardeners/patients in the lawn in front of the southern wing of the hospital.
Mayday Hills Hospital was developed as the Beechworth Lunatic Asylum in 1864-67 with gardens and grounds laid out at this time and rejuvenated since 1913.
The collection of mature trees and plants is exceptional with many dating from the mid to late nineteenth century and others from the post 1913 work of Hugh Linaker and later curators. The efforts of grounds staff over the decades has created a succession plan that extends beyond the lifespan of the 19th century plantings.
It has become one of the top 5 collections of trees in Victoria (John Hawker)
