Statement of Significance

Rare or localised

Located by the Uniting Church, 100 metres west on the north side of the road. This species is rare in Victoria, the only other known locality is at Lake Rowan. In the 1920's Dr Willis recalls a large stand of mature trees in the paddock and a picture taken in 1962 shows 3 large trees in the adjoining paddock similar in size to the Lake Rowan population. The 1978 report by LaTrobe University mentions the trees as 20-25 feet tall and moribund. This stand is at great risk.
The nearby mature stand (sighted 1978) have all died.
