Lone Cypress, Remarkable tree in Pebble Beach, US
The Monterey cypress stands solitary upon a granite outcrop along the Pacific coast, supported by cables and a stone retaining wall.
The tree took root around 1750 during Spanish colonial period and became a registered trademark of Pebble Beach Company in 1919.
Local mariners in the 1800s used the tree as a natural navigation mark when sailing through the dangerous waters near Carmel Bay.
Visitors can observe the tree from a designated viewing platform on 17-Mile Drive between Cypress Point Club and Pebble Beach Golf Links.
This specimen represents one of two locations where Monterey cypress trees grow naturally, with Point Lobos being the second location.

These trees stand as natural monuments across the globe. Some are recognized for their age, like Old Tjikko in Sweden and Methuselah in California. Others, such as General Sherman and Hyperion, set records for size and height. The collection includes cultural landmarks like the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi in Sri Lanka and ecological wonders like the Dragon Blood Trees of Socotra. From ancient baobabs to giant sequoias, each specimen represents botanical heritage.
