Statement of Significance
This tree is significant as it is a mature example of the species with large physical dimensions in comparison to other trees of the same species under cultivation in Victoria. The tree is currently in good health and has a major presence within the landscape of Australian Catholic University's Mair Street campus.
Large and mature Tilia x eurpaea are seldom seen under cultivation in Victoria as a result of its sensitivities to exposure, heat and extended periods of soil aridity, all of which are prevalent in many areas of Victoria, especially over the warmer months. The tree is also 1 component of the historic Carn Brea homestead which still exists on the property and was built in 1881. A number of trees from this era are still on the property, two which have previously been included on the National Trust Register of Significant Trees.
