Summary

Description
English: Torreya californica exhibits a full-sun density of leaves along this steep roadside in Yosemite National Park, approx. 5000 foot elevation. Location: From Yosemite Valley, drive west and turn right at the junction to get onto Highway 120 (Big Oak Flat Road). After the first tunnel (and before the second), park in the large overlook on the left (canyon) side of the road. There you will see several tall specimens growing from the rocks right alongside the rock barrier wall. In this photo the stem bases appear from deep shade amidst the boulder pile.
