| General Notes:

Quite a striking tree with a very elegant form and very rare in NZ. The tree is likely to have originated from Eastwoodhill where there are several trees of the species [1]. The tree was growing out of a concrete pipe surround which has been replaced and retained with timber seating (Rees, J.R., 2019).
