National Trust Trees in Fairfield

This Indian fig is listed on the register of significant trees of Victoria. It is located at NMIT tafe college in Fairfield Melbourne Victoria (which is where I study horticulture). Its botanical name is Ficus Palmata. I have always loved the gnarled trunks / branches of fig trees. It faces a northern aspect. On the national trust website it states this tree is 60+ years old.




This Sugar gum tree is also in fairfield and is on the National Trust register. The pictures don't do this tree justice it looks amazing in real life and it's one of my favorite eucalpyts. The tree is huge and is held together with cabling. The botanical name for this tree is Eucalyptus Cladocalyx.  On the national trust website it states this tree is 60+ years old.
