The Batman Apple Tree is said to be the oldest apple tree in Victoria and came from the remnants of John Batman's orchard after his death. In the 1840s, this area was Frederick Flintoff's orchard on land called Brancepeth Farm. The tree is located along the Plenty River Trail in Greensborough. 3 colour digital photographsplenty river trail, batman apple tree, john batman, frederick flintoff, brancepeth farm
