Description: In 1876, a visiting seaman supposedly gave a seedling of this Morton Bay Fig tree to a girlfriend in Category:Santa Barbara, Southern California. A year later, the friend replanted it in its current location - the corner of Chapala and Montecito. It is now one of the largest of all Ficus macrophylla trees in the United States. It is on the California Register of Big Trees. The tree averages 80' in height, 176' in average crown spread and over 40' in diameter. "It is an awesome sight!"
