| General Notes:
|
Exotic trees of this vintage are a rare sight on the West Coast. The tree is thought to have been planted in the 1860's (Burstall 1974). Despite its short stature, the tree has a surprisingly large stem hidden beneath the low growing canopy. Well worth the short detour off the main highway through Reefton (Cadwallader, B.G. 2013).
