    Currently placed as Torreya grandis var. fargesii it is a legend by any name, Torreyas are rare and ancient relics only surviving in small areas of Asia and the east and west coasts of the United States, however they once ranged much more widely. Thanks to the efforts of Joseph Rock, this one is once more growing in parts of its former range.
