Suitability to retain   LOW: Tree would require very large protection area

                        Hoop Pine is a Queensland native and a commercial timber that is
                        also endemic to the area of Cooroy. However large highly exposed
                        trees are less desirable close to new development sites.


                        While Araucaria species can tolerate areas of more frequent and
                        higher winds speeds; a fail safe for the species is to be able to shed
    Comments
                        limbs in high wind speeds to reduce chance of the tree failing
                        completely.

                        Cooroy and local areas have been subjected to freak storm events
                        over the last 15 years and one such event in the last 3-4 years that
