- Description
- Newspaper article: A living landmark in Pietermaritzburg's history, a grove of trees in the heart of the Botanic Gardens, is 100 years old this year. These gnarled giants, all planted in 1884 or earlier, are "probably the most representative selection of exotic trees in South Africa". according to the curator of the Gardens, Mr Brian Tarr. He sees education as the real function of a botanical garden. Picture: Mr Tarr among the roots of a giant Morton Bay fig planted more than 100 years ago. The Natal Witness. S.A.Digest. 1984-03-23.
