This is one three trees growing together to form a focal point on the margin of Governor's Lawn at Government House. This is the group of trees under which Prince William became acquainted with his first Buzzy Bee. There is a ring of Monstera sp. growing beneath the trees, forming a dense and formidable barrier. Please see record AR/G1141 for expanded notes about the history of the site. (VanWijngaarden, R. 2013)
