Oaks and pines

Audio tour

The oaks and pines are a key feature of these gardens.

Many, including the Stone Pine (Pinus pinea), are listed on Victoria’s Register of Significant Trees. Another of these is the English Oak (Quercus robur), planted in 1863 to mark the marriage of the Prince and Princess of Wales, is one of the oldest commemorative plantings in Victoria.

Their height and canopy spread are magnificent, so it is no wonder that oaks and pines continue to be collected for their beauty, diversity and climate suitability.
