A Tree Conservation Order (TPO) has been issued for the tropical landmark at Queenstown Road in Betteri following a campaign by local people.
It was brought from Granada to Southwest London in the 1980s as a setting by Marline Anderson, one of the residents of the road in the 1980s, who died in June.
Wandsworth Council Deputy Leader Kemi Akinola said: “We were very happy to give to TPO and ensure that this favorite local landmark stands for the coming generations.”

A memorial plaque has been placed to remember Ms. Anderson and to explain the history of the tree to anyone walking to anyone.

How common are grapes in Britain?
The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) says it is not common for sour trees like grape trees to get out through the UK winter – even in warm areas such as London and Southeast.
It describes trees as “slow growing evergreen shrubs” with bright green leaves.
“It has aromatic white flowers, almost at any time of the year that can develop in large, round pink-yellow fruits.
“The meat is dark pink, but this color is produced only after high temperatures.”
Grape trees in the UK usually flourish once a year, with a late spring or 12 months after swelling in summer.
The RHS stated that the last height of the grapes is between 2.5 and 4 meters (8 -13 feet).
Society advises producers that this tree is more likely to succeed when grown in a greenhouse.
