It’s in a frequently visited beach area. I’m glad that landscape people saw the value of keeping this surviving tree. Thank you for your comment!

Thank you, Cee! I could imagine the possibility of the tree being removed when landscape was done in that beach area. They probably kept it because it looked like a sculpture that fit in the surrounding of Laguna Beach!
