30 years at least. Its at St. Rose Hospital and that I think just turned 60. BUT!..that building looks to be a later addition.

I didnot even notice the sign!!! I was the Director of Obstetrics there 37 years ago. I might have seen it planted! LOL

Nice Kell! A world needs more of those type people type careers.
I notice that very old ones..get a dark trunk? I mean those maybe planted in the late 40's to 50's? They get thinner, branching gets even more sparse. But,they can keep doing that phase for decades more.
They are underrated. For the bay area they are in the Dragon Tree or Joshua tree mode,giving us something like those iconic plants.
