Christmas Tree (Nuytsia floribunda), at the corner of Frankel and Lowe Streets, Carey Park, has cultural heritage significance because: it is an uncommon example of remnant indigenous vegetation in urban Bunbury.
Mature "Christmas Tree" native to the South West which flowers prolifically over the summer period and is in full blossom in December.
The Christmas Tree (Nuytsia floribunda) at the corner of Frankel Street and Lowe Street, Carey Park, is a remnant of pre-settlement vegetation. There are no other examples in the immediate vicinity. This particular tree was mentioned in Bunbury City Council Minutes (1955) regarding its impending removal from the Frankel Street area. It was decided not to remove it. The tree produces a striking golden floral display during summer.
High degree of integrity.
Good.
