    Statement of significance:

    These trees fulfil the criteria of:

    • Unique location or context
    • Outstanding size (girth height spread)
    • Aesthetic value
    • Outstanding example of the species

    These 9 Canadian Poplars are a major feature of the historic Caulfield Park, particularly due to their setting around the banks of the lake. They are all large, established trees however several are of outstanding size with 2 trees reaching 25 & 26m tall, 2 trees reaching over 24m in canopy spread and 3 trees with trunk girth in excess of 4m around.

    Individually these trees provide substantial amenity to park visitors as well as the wider neighbourhood however collectively they are a very striking, major feature of the park and make a substantial contribution to the local landscape with their visual presence. The loss of these trees would represent a significant loss to the community.


    Due to their size, health, condition and location, these trees are all individually excellent specimens and as a collective group, they are outstanding examples of the species for the entire municipality and the wider region.
