Statement of Significance
Contribution to historic park
Outstanding size
Outstanding example of species
This tree, located next to the sound shell,is the best example of several very large Plane trees, both P.x acerifolia and P. orientalis, growing within the park. This old nursery site established by Francis Moss in 1888 on the banks of the Tarwin River comprised a portion of the original1000 acres (404ha)purchased. By 1900 the nursery had become well established and in 1945 the Council acquired the main park plus 2 acres (0.8ha) of natural bush across the river. The Park was opened to the public in 1946.
