100+ Year Old Palm Trees in Tres Pinos


These very, very tall palm trees stand in front of the old Tres Pinos School, which today is a private residence. Designed by Frank Delos Wolfe, the building is a beautifully crafted example of California prairie architecture. The trees were planted when the school was built around 1915. Click here to see a photo of the old school 100 years ago.

By the way, generations of Tres Pinos School children left their marks on the trunks on the old palms. Some of them are still visible.

  1. I didn't realize that palm trees lived that long. The one in the middle looks like it has a beard with all those untrimmed branches!

    1. I didn't either. I also didn't realize that palms lose their chunkiness after a while.
