A quite mature and large individual, growing at the top of Puddingstone Hill, in the San Jose Hills range, on the San Dimas and La Verne borderline. This tree was almost certainly planted, many decades ago, when this hill was a better known vista point, before the trail overgrew and became cut off by housing development. However, the trees planted here are not being maintained at all now, and are seeding new individuals all around the hilltop (e.g. http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/82433631), so I think it is reasonable to consider it wild. Leaves not glaucous at all, dark like olive leaves above/adaxially, and lighter green below/abaxially. In flower and fruit, with a very thick bed of old fruits on the ground all around it (see photo # 10). Coin used for scale is a US quarter dollar (¢25 piece), 24.26 mm, 0.955 inch in diameter.
