Jurupa Oak, Ancient oak colony in Jurupa Mountains, California.
The Jurupa Oak consists of 70 stem clusters covering 25 by 8 meters, with each stem reaching approximately one meter in height.
The oak colony originated during the Pleistocene epoch, approximately 13,000 years ago, surviving through continuous clonal reproduction after wildfires.
The location of the Jurupa Oak and its surrounding area holds sacred status for the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians in California.
Local authorities have approved construction plans for 1,700 homes and an industrial park near the ancient oak colony in September 2024.
This Palmer's Oak stands as the only specimen of its species within the entire 2,650 square mile Santa Ana River Watershed.
