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.
