Physical Description

The magnolia is a quite well formed tree with mutltiple trunks but is currently situated on the corner of a major intersection and adjacent to a car park. It is subject to pruning, exhaust pollution and restricted water access.

History

This Magnolia Tree is situated on the site of Smeeds Nursery which ran from the late 1880's to around 1909. William Leonard Smeed planted a number of exotic trees and it is possible that this is the only remnant. It is also possible that John Ballantyne Wood, who leased a portion of the nursery during WW1 planted the tree himself.
