Statement of Significance

Curious Growth Form:
Three trees which exhibit a curious growth form or physical feature such as abnormal outgrowths natural fusion of branches, severe lightning damage or unusually pruned forms.

An unusual occurrence where two trees growing either side have fallen into the crown of the central tree and the branches have grafted together. While natural grafting is not uncommon, an example involving three trees is the only known occurrence. A major threat to the trees' survival is continued erosion of the riverbank.

The trees are located in Piambie Forest, on the bank of the Murray River between Gray's Bend and Windomal Landing.
