Heritage Values:
The two oaks sited at t he rear of t he property at 15 Ma nuroa Road have been assessed by an arborist as being over 100 years old. The land was originally part of Takanini's Grant, an 1842 land purchase between t he Crow n and Sout h Auckland tr ibes. ; The main historic developments recorded concerning this property focus on t he development of the Southern Railway Line, which runs alongside the site. The site was initially farmed land, which is probably the time period du ring which t he oaks were plante d. George Treadgoid is listed as farming at t he prope rty f rom 1887.' The pro perty was subdivided into multiple smaller lots fro m t he 1916 t hrough t o 1921. A 1931 report on obst ruct ions to th e view of the railway line shows several trees on t he property drawn in plan form, (t hough t hese are not classified as "o bstructions"]." Propert y files on t he locat ion not e t he presence of 2 Oak trees and 1 Karaka t ree, which is prote cted as a nati ve species. Upon a further subdivision of t he section in 1989 it was requested t hat the overall planti ng reflect th e nat ive t rees on th e site; t he Oaks were not ment ioned."
No significan t local historical associations have been esta blished for any of th e own ers of th e property,' but th e tree has some heritage significance on t he basis of its association wit h a know n early settler, George Treadgold.
