Location or context
Historic value
Level of Significance: Regional
History: All the land along Lower Homestead Road, including the Golf course (now in the adjoining municipality) was owned by Captain Payne. The trees would have been used as a windbreak to shelter stock, rather than fruit trees in other areas of the municipality.
Other/Notes: Some parts of the rows have dieback down the trunks and especially on certain sides of the canopy. Large deadwood is present and some individual trees have died. Trees have shown a tendency to dieback after one tree is removed. The direction that the row runs can have a significant impact on the health of the trees
Health Rating: 3
Threats/Risks to Tree: Damage to the trunks from machinery used to slash the paddocks and trenching for services along the road. The road verges are wide, limiting the effect of road works on the trees, although this should still be carefully managed. Planning permits have been issued which allow the removal of trees within the windbreaks.
Hazards/Risks:
Irregular branch structure
Diseased limbs
Other/Notes: Some extended branches are present from the base of trees, with some of these trees being co-dominant from the base. Dead limbs are also present.
Structure Rating: 4
