(Via LA Observed) "Last year, Ed Fuentes alerted me to the fact that a once-famous palm tree — the palm that from 1888 to 1914 greeted new arrivals to Los Angeles at the Southern Pacific’s Arcade Station — now lives in relative obscurity near the Coliseum in Exposition Park. After some research, I determined that the tree’s history actually extends back much further than 1888. Transplanted originally from a desert oasis sometime in the middle of the 19th century, the fan palm was already a mature tree and famous landmark by the time it was moved in front of the rail depot."
