This extraordinary creature is a 600-800 year old dwarfed pygmy oak residing in the Los Osos Oaks State Reserve. The 85 acres of ancient sand dune is south of Morro Bay and just east of Los Osos off Los Osos Valley Road in San Luis Obispo County. Chumash Indians once lived where the historic trees have been saved.
links to the 11th century. When these oaks were saplings,
what they would call North America. The Chumash camped
on this land. Some of the preserve is on a Chumash midden.
Three hiking trails take you beneath the old growth oaks. The eastern edge of the preserve runs along a stand of old sycamore, willow, laurel and cottonwood trees. Between Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo you can time travel.

I recall reading that Druids believed oak trees were sacred, and ancient souls, so the first thing Caesar did when invading Gaul was to go to the sacred places and cut down all the oak tree. Kinda sad.
ReplyDeleteGood photos, Tom. Fascinating place.
