Statement of Significance

Contribution to historic garden or park;
Particularly old

A very old row of Olive trees displaying the characteristic buttress development which occurs with great age. The row was probably planted as a windbreak for the orchard as several old fruit trees (old cultivars?) are located nearby. The trees require surgery to remove deadwood, stubbs and to repair storm damage.
