The landscape design at Aradale is considered to have been influenced by Hugh Linaker, who was appointed landscape gardener to the Lunacy Department in 1912. The position required Linaker to give his expert advice at any of the Hospitals for the Insane under the Department's care, which included Ararat, Beechworth, Ballarat and Yarra Bend.
This tree is significant at the State level for Social (contribution to landscape), Historic (Association with Institution) and Aesthetic (species/location) reasons.
