Win a $25 Gift Certificate from Stone Lantern
The first person to properly identify the man in the red apron and the botanical name (genus and species) of the monster tree in the photo above, will win a $25.00 gift certificate from Stone Lantern. When we have a winner, we’ll post the site (with link) where we found the photo.
I’m going to guess “Mr. California Juniper” Harry Hirao with a California Juniper (Juniperus californica).
Too late! John has won. Too easy.
The man is Harry Hirao and the tree is a California Juniper, Juniperus Californica
