Eagle Tree
Historic tree in California
About
The Eagle Tree was a historic California sycamore (Platanus racemosa) tree near the crossing of Long Beach Boulevard and the I-105 in Compton, California. Originally named for the eagles that were found nesting in the tree, it was known for its status as the marker for the start of the territory of Rancho San Pedro. The tree, which started growing c. 1672–1737, fell in 2022, from a combination of disease and neglect.
