- Description
- Newspaper article: "This huge Moreton Bay wild fig tree in the Port Elizabeth Club grounds (the tree with the biggest spread in the city?) is no doubt one of the "nice lot of seedlings" raised from seed in 1882 by Mr John Wilson. Four were planted in the corners of Trinder Square when it was laid out as a garden in 1888. As the ohter Ficus macrophylla seedlings were distributed "far and wide," the great landmark trees at the corner of Main Road and 17th Avenue, Walmer, were probably from the same lot. (Macro-phylla means long-leafed of big-leafed.)"
