Statement of Significance

Horticultural value
Contribution to landscape
Curious growth form

This tree is significant due to its unusual growth form, having developed a wide-spreading globular crown rather than the usual narrow dense upright crown. It is the only known example of this unusually wide form in Victoria although other wide forms are known at Croydon and Colac Botanic Gardens. The tree has horticultural potential as an alternative to Cupressus macrocarpa.
Located near the Niel Black memorial.
