| Tree Type: | Single |

| Registration Category: | Notable tree – International interest |
| General Notes: |
'This is one of the largest known deciduous trees in New Zealand and one of the largest poplars in the world. It is approximately 2 meters shorter than the 'Frimley Poplar', but is considerably healthier and larger in circumference and overall volume, although there is a secondary fused stem present that influences girth. This specimen is still growing and will most certainly outlive the famous 'Frimley Poplar' which is now in a poor declining state' (Judd D.A., August 2013).
References: See history of the 'Frimley' clone on record HBR/0210. Burstall S.W. 1969 Forestry Mensuration Report no. 18; p.53 for more information on the 'Frimley Poplar'.
