This tree was planted around 1876 after the Big House was built and when the Shinn family had a nursery. Possibly one of the samples in the San Francisco Bulletin box along with coquitos from the Chilean Wine Palm trees that resides not too far away.
UC Berkeley had a speciman from a tree from Niles. The Shinn Ranch was located in Niles, which is not a district of Fremont.
