Located in the south-west section, adjacent to toilet block, this tree is a large and healthy example of a species rare in cultivation in Victoria. The Holly-Leaved Cherry is an evergreen tree, producing edible cherries, with shiny and spiny leaves similar in appearance to holly. It is native to coastal California and northern Baja California as well as the desert chapparal areas of the Mojave Desert. Native Americans fermented the fruit into a drink used to get intoxicated
The tree requires sucker and epicormal growth removed from trunk, deadwooding and formative pruning. Other examples occur at Willsmere and Rosalind Park, Bendigo.
