Nature-loving kids and coffee-loving parents can get a little of both when taking a mid-morning stroll through Santa Monica’s La Mesa Drive! Some fun facts to impress your kiddos with: 1. 🌳Moreton Bay Fig trees are famous for their aerial roots that can dig into the ground and provide an anchor for its branches, which can stretch up to 200ft horizontally! 2. The fig that is produced by these trees is not an actual fruit, but rather an inverted flower bunch that’s pollinated by wasps that crawl inside! 3. These trees were ACCIDENTALLY planted here almost 100 years ago when they were thought to be Magnolias 🙈 4. These trees are protected under the Heritage Tree Program and have made many famous movie appearances over the years as the quintessential Californian tree! Why wait when a world of wonder for your kids is a road trip away?!
