Despite its reduced circumstances, the Jarrah tree is significant for its landmark quality.The tree reflects the great age of this species and is a significant remnant of the period prior to European settlement. The girth and age of this Eucalyptus marginata make it valuable as a benchmark site with the potential to contribute to future research on the natural history of Western Australia. The Jarrah tree has played a significant role in the playground activities of Armadale school children from 1904 to 1987 and is highly valued by the local community. This high public regard is illustrated by efforts of community groups to prevent its destruction in 1987 and 1997. The tree contributes to the community’s sense of place by providing a physical link with the history of the development of Armadale It forms an integral part of the Bicentennial Heritage Tree Trail and is included on the Tree Register of the National Trust of Australia (WA).
The tree stood in the grounds of the Armadale Primary School and is fondly remembered by many children who attended the school. The land on which the tree stood was sold by Thomas Saw, one of the earliest settlers in the district, a major property owner and local benefactor, to the Minister for Education to be used as a school site. The Jarrah tree was the subject of a Conservation Order issued on 14 November 1997 after the Minister for Heritage had received 1,147 submissions in favour of conservation.
The tree is less than half its height because of lopping. It was ringbarked by vandals in 1997 causing an impact on the tree’s ability to sustain and generate growth.
