Why do you believe this tree should be selected as the winner in this category?
This unique stand of citrus trees has seen some prolific growth and is evident, marked by difficult conditions.
The shiny deep green citrus type leaf and lime green round fruit is a show stopper, as well the texture of the bark and wood.
The lean-too position and standing generations march toward the the road and train bridge as a testament to time and seasonality.
My favourite because it is an amazing tree and the first peoples use of the wood was for making implements and bows.
We are fortunate to have such a fine tree in Old South I guess it is as old or older that the rail line.
Enjoy,
Milyn Hall
