|---|---|
| Tree Type: | Single |
| Registered By: | Cadwallader, B.G. |
| Registration Category: | Historic tree – National interest |
| General Notes:
|
A prominent tree located at the front of the second oldest continuous public school in New Zealand. A history of the school is published on the school's website - www.stoke.school.nz. The school was moved several times in the mid 1800's. The tree is suspected to have been associated with the schools final relocation to the current site. Unfortunately no history of the tree appears to have been recorded. The importance of the tree to the school is shown in its use of it on the school's logo.
The tree has been acknowledged in a number of notable and historic tree surveys over the years and currently has a heritage listing on the Nelson Resource Management Plan (Cadwallader, B.G., 2009). |
