20 Metre Trees
Raising awareness of the importance of trees in our suburbs, across metropolitan Adelaide.
Welcome to 20 Metre Trees!
Every year, we hold a contest where you can nominate some amazing South Australian trees, from suburban backyards to our parks and regional areas.
This year's competition has already concluded, but stay tuned for next year!
To stay up-to-date, follow our Facebook Page, and if you would like to read about the importance of trees, check our Info page.
2024's Tree of the Year
Chosen by you, this stunning Pecan tree (Carya illinoinensis) located in Sandow Crescent Reserve, Coromandel Valley, is the 2024 South Australian Tree of the Year.
The tree is believed to have been planted by George Summers in his orchard between 1899 and 1900. This size of this stunning tree is particularly noticeable, being some 20m tall and having a branch spread of 30m! With a trunk circumference of 4.09m, let us hope that this tree has many more years to contribute the significant value that it provides to the local community.
A massive thank you to everyone who voted and nominated a tree in the competition this year.
