History: In the grounds of the Heide II house; the home of John and Sunday Reed, patrons of Australian artists such as Sydney Nolan, Albert Tucker, Arthur Boyd and Joy Hester. The Reeds were responsible for the planting and layout of the garden which was basically a treeless site when they purchased it in 1934, with Sunday Reed in particular being a keen gardener. These two Oaks were planted as acorns by the Reeds over the burying place of two of their cows, known affectionately as "Cappuccino" and "Espresso". These are just two of many Oak species spread across the two Heide properties.
