I'll have to check it out. I'm near there from time to time. Thanks Ava!

I think it must be VERY old, Cindy. And quite healthy. Another place to see them this big is at the Presidio over Mission Valley. I have a friend who inherited a house with several of these on the property and they're old, but not so full because I don't think they got much care for the last 50 years.

Yes, it looks like a Tea Tree to me too. Lovely photos as always, Cindy.
