Statement of Significance

Contribution to landscape
Particularly old

Two very old specimens throught to have been planted between 1842-47. The trees are growing in an open paddock near the first 'Naringal' house. The trees are of great age and the major limbs have collapsed which is not uncommon for old mulberries, forming a very large spreading crown. The trees are probably remnant plantings from an orchard.
They are located near Slab Hut
