The iconic hoop pine at the highest point at the Botanic Gardens
The Hoop Pine was planted as a seedling by Stan Powell in 1935 and is classified local level of significance on the National Trust Tree Register. The Powell family used to farm the land. The property was resumed in the 1950s and part of the property was used to build a Lake Macdonald to supply water to the Noosa residents. In 1987 work started on the Noosa Botanic Gardens. The tree is the oldest cultivated native specimen in the Botanic Gardens. Some community events have been organised around the Hoop Pine and there is scope for further use.
