Located in the Queens garden near the Queen Victoria Memorial, this tree is the largest and best-formed of any known specimen in Victoria and so makes a major contribution to the landscape. Waterhousea floribunda is native to the rainforests of northern, coastal New South Wales and Queensland. It has been used in Victoria since the early 1900s,because of its relatively quick growth and lush foliage.
