Historic Trees at Binder Reserve
Binder Reserve has a historic tree planted in 1890, known as Granny Macmahon's tree, which draws visitors to the park. A large fig tree dominates Binder Reserve and gives it much of its character. The fig has lost several wide, long limbs that once gave generous shade, so its canopy is now smaller than before. Binder Reserve is a well-kept small park that is usually maintained by council.
