Street Trees - Physical Description 1
A notable plantation of mature, exotic street trees.
Remnant Fabric (Man Made):None noted.
Remnant Fabric (Vegetation):The street tree plantings consist of mature English Elm (Ulmus procera), located towards the eastern end of the street at the intersection of Nicholson Street. All the trees have been lopped at various times, but have regained much of their natural form. Power lines are located on the northern side of the street.
Potential Threats: Unnecessarily hard pruning or lopping, particularly to trees on the southern side of the street to maintain clearances from power lines. Works within the root zones of the trees, particularly to underground services, may reduce the potential amenity life of the plantings. Interplanting between the trees with an inappropriate species, or failure to replace senescent specimens with the same species will reduce the heritage character of the place. Elm Leaf Beetle and Elm Bark Beetle are both serious pests of this species, capable of causing major damage and even killing mature trees. As yet, Dutch Elm disease is not known in Australia.Heritage Study and Grading
