The Wisdom Tree

The Wisdom Tree is perched on a cliff in the Hollywood Hills overlooking the valley, the west side, and Hollywood stretching towards downtown and beyond.  A quick Google search revealed it was originally a grocery store purchase, a live Christmas Tree, that an arborist then planted on this site.  Several years ago, the land on the North side was scorched by a raging fire, but the tree remained unharmed.  Hikers gather in its shade, leaving messages and notes in a tin box at the base of the tree.  Continuing on the path to Cahuenga Peak and Mt. Lee the tree is a stunning visual landmark, breath taking from every angle.
