A very large specimen of a species not commonly cultivated. The tree has a well-structured crown and makes a dominant contribution to the courtyard area.

The position required Linaker to give his expert advice at any of the Hospitals for the Insane under the Department's care which included Ararat, Beechworth, Ballarat and Yarra Bend.
The tree is located east of the entrance in main courtyard.
