I also notice that in many of your photos and those of other people writing about this tree, there is a lot of tree mortality everywhere, much like is happening with Pines and Oaks.

Yes. There’s a grove in Upper San Carpoforo Creek near Lottie Potrero Trail but it looks like that is not technically public land either. The Marmolejo Canyon grove on the Hearst ranch looks fairly sizable and scenic… too bad it’s private land.

Griffin & Critchfield (1972) remark on a few scattered groves on the Hearst Ranch, but this may well be the southernmost stand on public lands.
