Key item features
Excerpt from The Story of the Monterey Pine Fouris its own peninsula, where it spreads over about twenty-five square miles of territory and shares its [domain with but few other trees. The live oak is its forest companion; and many a time, when the wind is bent on havoc, a swaying pine is held securely in the arms of a neighboring oak. Other trees of the peninsula are grouped in groves - the Bishop Pine and the Gowen Cypress on Huckleberry Hill, and the Monterey Cypress at Cypress Point and Point Lobos. When Cabrillo sailed up the coast, nearly four hundred years ago, and caught sight of this untouched forest sweeping up and down the slopes almost to the rocks and sands of the shore, no wonder he called the wooded headland he was rounding Cabo de Pinos and the blue bay at its side Bahia de Pinos Any one of the seventy species of pine that are now known might readily have been recognized as pines, but this venturesome sea captain of the sixteenth century lived two or three hundred years too early to possibly suspect his discovery of a new pine.
