Location or context
Historic value
Level of Significance: Local
History: Unknown. The area was the site of the original surveyed Templestowe township. The trees were clearly planted as a windbreak due to the length of the row and their location on the top of a hill. It would appear that they were once on a single property.
Other/Notes: Some inner canopy deadwood present and some sparseness.
Health Rating: 3
Threats/Risks to Tree: Works to the road including, but not limited to, widening, trenching and works to gutters.
Hazards/Risks:
Co-dominant branches
Irregular branch structure
Other/Notes: Many trees have co-dominant/v-crotched branches from low and are of poor structure. Many trees are branching from a height of around 4m, suggesting they may have once been pruned as a hedge. Trees have good form.
