The Moreton Bay fig tree in San Diego's Balboa Park is one of the largest trees in California. [1] [2] [3] [4]
It began its life when it was planted in 1914. [5] During the Panama–California Exposition it was part of the San Diego County garden exhibit; as of 2017 it is the last remaining plant from the exhibit. [6] The area underneath it was fenced off to the public in 1989 due to damage to the fig caused by foot traffic. [5]
