This tree features in John’s garden in Korumburra. After visiting the Cedar we went to his garden to continue shooting the magnificant. It was John who planted this one!
The Cedar of Lebanon. This is John who has climbed to visit this tree for the second time. The last time was 25 years ago and he has watched this tree over the years. He has planted his own garden including exotic trees ‘but this is a rare and special one’ he says.
I think i’m going to start a “Living Landmark Series’. This tree has a story. A good friend of mind had visited this tree 25 years ago and this week-end he organised for me to venture with him to see this Living Landmark. This is a ‘Cedrus libari’ or known as a Lebanon Cedar. A tall long lived Cedar with spreading branches that grows in Lebanon & Turkey. Quite a rare tree for Australia. It was his second visit and my first, although i can see this tree from my backyard perched below ‘Cook’s Hill’ in Korumburra in South Gippsland Australia. It is estimated that this tree is around 100 years old planted around the same time as the Korumburra Botanical Gardens somewhere around 1910-1920.
The Weeping Birch is a real winner! In summer these beauties act as mini air conditioners. I’ve spent many summers resting in the cool shade under this one or the many others that feature in ‘Howells Garden’ John’s Korumburra garden paradise.
I wonder if there is any more of these trees perched high on a hill in South Gippsland. The Cedar of Lebanon certainly has made it’s mark here.
