History
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.[5]
