The Seaside Museum & Bank of the Pacific’s Vibrant Family Tree
At the Bank of the Pacific branch, there is a large mother tree that’s estimated to be easily 100 years old. But her now 18-foot circumference was nearly felled by a heavy dose of weed killer in 1990 that caused a rapid, total shedding of seeds. Though they were quickly planted, only one new cypress survived and today is thriving at the nearby Seaside Museum & Historical Society.
