There are two remaining Little Tokyo grapefruit trees from the Wolfskill Orchard, which stretched into downtown from the late 1800s to early 1900s and popularized citrus in California. Recognizing the trees' importance, JACCC and the SoCal Gardeners Association helped save and relocate our 150-year old tree from its original location behind the Amerasia bookstore (near what is now Pinkberrys) to the JACCC Noguchi Plaza in 1982. These trees have lived with us through the founding of Little Tokyo, the Japanese internment camps, the many waves of development, and continue with us in the struggle to sustain our community amidst the many cultural, environmental, and economic changes!
