El Palo Alto, Coast redwood in Palo Alto, US
El Palo Alto reaches 110 feet in height and stands on the banks of San Francisquito Creek, marking the northern border of Palo Alto.
The Spanish explorer Gaspar de Portola recorded this redwood tree in 1769, when it featured two trunks before one fell during the 1880s.
Stanford University and the City of Palo Alto incorporated this ancient redwood tree into their official seals, recognizing its regional significance.
The City of Palo Alto maintains the tree through regular pruning, soil treatment, and irrigation to prevent damage from urban conditions.
This redwood tree germinated around 940 AD, making it California's first named tree and the state's oldest living historical landmark.
