Jacaranda & Plane Trees

Statement of Significance

Applecross has streets lined with mature jacaranda trees and plane trees which provide an important environmental character to the Applecross location. The extent of the mature plantings reinforces the character of the tree species, the suitability for verge planting, and an enhancement of the residential district.

History

Applecross hosts a "Jacaranda Festival" each year in November. The festival is held in the Applecross Village district, and surrounding local businesses sell products and foods in aid of the local Rotary Club chapter.

The use of these two tree species is indicative of Local Government policy to appropriately enhance the residential locality.
