Historical value

The tree was planted by Jacob Bernstein (an active member of Ballarat's Hebrew community) in 1867 and is now a fine specimen, dominating the front of the building and indeed that intersection.
Pinus canariensis is a native to the Canary Islands making it highly suited to South-east Australia. It has strongly fissured red bark which contrast with its dark deep-green and soft textured foliage.
It is excellent as a street tree, forming an attractive upright canopy.
