Old Mulberry Tree at Reeves Point, Heritage mulberry tree at Reeves Point, Kingscote, Australia.

The mulberry tree stands at Reeves Point with support cables and poles maintaining its structure after nearly two centuries of growth.

Planted in 1836 during the first European settlement of South Australia, this tree marks the beginning of colonial presence on Kangaroo Island.

Multiple pioneering families maintain connections to the tree's history, with descendants sharing stories about its initial planting and significance.

Located along Governor Wallen Drive in Kingscote, the tree remains accessible to visitors and continues to produce fruit throughout the seasons.

The tree holds the distinction of being the oldest surviving fruit tree in South Australia and features in the Kangaroo Island Pioneers Association logo.
