Norwood Cork Tree

Norwood Cork Tree The 150 yr old Norwood Cork Tree is in the Coles re-development site, ‘Norwood Village’, adjacen They plan to get rid of the tree.

This tree was planted in Norwood, Adelaide 1892 by prominent industrialist Henry Buttery in his residential property adjacent to his furniture factory, which was the first in South Australia to use steam powered machinery, and the nearby row of Victorian shops from 158 to 166 The Parade, which still retain their distinctive parapets and facades and were also built by Henry Buttery. The tree and th

e shops represent the cultural history of late 19th Century Norwood. It is now threatened due to the planned redevelopment of the site by Coles (Westfarmers). Their submission has been rejected (March 2014) by the DAC (Development Assessment Commission). The future of the Cork Tree is still uncertain.

The cork tree is still healthy. When the temperatures are not so hot, I will post recent photos.
