Reserve adjacent Moreland Station - Physical Description 1
This reserve adjacent to the Moreland Railway Station comprises a number of mature specimen trees located on the east side of Moreland Station, interspersed with more contemporary native plantings.
The site is dominated by two mature English Elms (Ulmus procera) at the northern end, and three mature Canary Island Date Palms (Phoenix canariensis) towards the southern end of the reserve. Other vegetation within the reserve is predominantly native, and of fairly recent origin.
Potential Threats:
Removal of the exotic vegetation in favour of a completely native scheme. Failure to replace senescent Elms or Palms with the same species or further introduction of native vegetation, reducing the heritage character of the place. Elm Leaf Beetle and Elm Bark Beetle are both serious pests of Elm Trees, capable of causing major damage and even killing mature trees. As yet, Dutch Elm disease is not known in Australia.Heritage Study and Grading
