Give 30 people three guesses and not many of them will guess that this tree a mammoth of its species, is a Dogplum, or Eckebergia, which is particularly familier to Port Elizabethans as a street tree. In parts of Mill Park, Dogplums that have been able to grow freely have become fine big trees. But the tree in the picture has the bulk of at least six of the biggest Mill Park. The picture was taken on Nocton Farm, 39 miles from Port Elizabeth on the Cape Road. It's a fair guess that the tree stood there over 100 years ago when the area was being developed for farming by the Conton Smiths, Fairbridges and Skeads. That's Mrs Gwen Skinner, chairman of the Wild Flower Society supplying foreground and scale. E.P. Herald. 15-06-1966"

- Description: Caption "With Room to Stretch. Give 30 people three guesses and not many of them will guess that this tree a mammoth of its species, is a Dogplum, or Eckebergia, which is particularly familier to Port Elizabethans as a street tree. In parts of Mill Park, Dogplums that have been able to grow freely have become fine big trees. But the tree in the picture has the bulk of at least six of the biggest Mill Park. The picture was taken on Nocton Farm, 39 miles from Port Elizabeth on the Cape Road.
