The largest Moreton Bay Fig tree in America, native to Australia, was planted here in 1877 and today its branches spread 160 feet! The Coast Starlight usually stops in Santa Barbara long enough for you to walk over to this tree for a closer look and some photos.
The photos in this slide show were taken in the mid-1990's by Steve Grande on his Amtrak travels throughout the nation. The size of the photos is purposely smaller as disk space was expensive and download speeds were slower at that time.
