5.3.4 Fruit-growing
An advertisement that appeared in 1888 for land at Redstone Hill, promoted it as "˜A beautiful
stretch of undulating country "¦ lightly timbered, fenced, and subdivided into convenient
paddocks, with rich alluvial flats admirably adapted for Fruit Growing, and easily irrigated.29
An article of 1937 claimed that the first fruit tree planted in Victoria was possibly planted by
Martin Batey at Redstone Hill.30 In the 1870s it was noted that there were many orchards in
the Sunbury area.31

LET ME HELP YOU CONTEXT.

The source was an article about THE OLDEST FRUIT TREE IN VICTORIA which I should be able to locate on trove with this subject and the words FLINTOFF and BATEY. The tree was planted at Greensborough!
