Statement of Significance

This Canary Island date palm avenue is significant to the City:
- for the combination of the type, maturity and number of trees which make them distinctive within the City and of interest within the region ( Criterion B2);
- as a reflection of an era of planting in the City, under the direction of the noted landscaper David Matthews, and the sequence of development of the reserve itself (Criterion A4, H1).
