The Old Mulberry Tree

     The South Australia Company sent a number of fruit trees from England in 1836.  The 'Old Mulberry Tree' is the sole surviving tree from the original plantings.  It still bears fruit each year.  A smaller 'Mulberry Tree' propagated from a cutting taken from the original tree was planted alongside in 1986 as part of the 150th year anniversary of the settlement.
