  • Aesthetic value

This is a healthy, mature and wellformed example of a common tree species throughout Melbourne. It has a wide spreading canopy with good foliage density that provides significant canopy coverage across 2 private properties as well as the public footpath and roadside.

The tree provides significant visual appeal in an area of Glen Eira that is noticeably lacking mature canopy trees and is therefore striking within the local landscape and makes a major contribution to the neighbourhood character. This tree provides substantial amenity to the wider community.
