Ashbury Park
Planted in memory of Captain Woolcombe who used to own the Ashbury property
The tree under which the WOOLLCOMBE memorial lies is a horizontal Elm - Ulmus Glabra 'Horizontalis'. It is just inside gate of Evans street.
The Wych Elm cultivar Ulmus glabra 'Horizontalis', commonly known as the Weeping Wych Elm or Horizontal Elm, was discovered in a Perth nursery circa 1816. The tree was originally identified as 'Pendula' by Loddiges (London), in his catalogue of 1836, a name adopted by Loudon two years later in Arboretum et Fruticetum Britannicum, 3: 1398, 1838, but later sunk as a synonym for 'Horizontalis'.
