Outstanding size
Aesthetic significance
Outstanding example of species
This pair of Bhutan Cypress (Cupressus torulosa) at the East Gate make a significant aesthetic contribution to the immediate landscape of Russell Street and Lock Avenue. Their height-girth-spread dimensions make them prime specimens of the species within a suburban/residential environment. Planted on either side of the east driveway entrance to the property (Lock Avenue boundary) they stand guard over a culturally and historically significant residence set within a four acre 1940s arboretum-style garden.
On 17 January 2012 , a freak wind twisted an axillary limb; there is now a gap between the two canopies.
