medit-plants post!Hi SeanHelen Wong passed your email around the Hort Society.
You probably already know this, but there is an ECV (E Clampus Vitus) plaque
regarding what is likely related to the tree you are referring to. 26. ORTEGA

I recently received an inquiry via a website I am redeveloping and I thought it
might be of interest to this group, and some of you might know something in
relation to it topic. If so, please respond to the group or contact me
directly.
"Does the Society have information available on the first Lemon Tree planted in
California by the Spaniards on the Tajiguas Ranch in Santa Barbara County?
During the early 1970's, the site of the original tree was fenced on the ranch
and a State Horticultural Placard was installed on the site. The Lemon tree
then growing was a shoot of the original, long dead. I have the original tree
trunk given me by the then owner. I have photographs of the site in my
photograph collection, but I have no idea where the photographs are located in
my extensive collection at this time. I do have the trunk I removed and intend
to make memorable items from the wood if I last long enough for this
project."--
