Heritage significance
The ‘Olive Trees’, 302 Cherry Gardens Road, Cherry Gardens are of significance as among the earliest surviving and documented examples of the species in South Australia. Documented as having been planted by the mid-1840s by the Broadbent family. The two trees may have been planted from cuttings sourced from the first olive trees brought to South Australia aboard the Buffalo in December 1836; the ship upon which the Broadbent family also arrived in South Australia at this time.
The trees are strongly associated with and were planted by Luke Broadbent (1791-1856) a prominent early settler of the Cherry Gardens district. The trees now comprise surviving heritage elements that represent the farming activities of the Broadbent family on the site from 1846. Of unusual size in comparison to other early documented examples of the species in Australia, the trees may be of some significance to the history of the imported species in Australia.
