Moreton Bay Fig Tree

The majestic Moreton Bay Fig Tree that stands in front of the Fairmont Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica is a beloved landmark with a rich history. 
The tree was planted in the late 19th century, around 1879, by Georgina Jones, the daughter of Senator John P. Jones, who owned the property at the time.
Jones's mansion was later converted into the Miramar Hotel, and the tree has remained a prominent feature of the hotel's grounds ever since.
