Jurupa Oak / Palmer's oak (on the right is tagged #1)
The colony only grows after wildfires, when its burned branches sprout new shoots.[3] It is the only one of its species in the surrounding area, which is a much drier climate and lower altitude than that in which Palmer's oaks typically grow.[3] The oak has roughly 70 clusters of stems in a thicket which measures 25x8 metres in area and one metre in height.[5]
