This fruit tree is not native to the area, but is a reminder that people lived, fished, and ranched here at China Camp on San Pablo Bay--the northern "thumb" of San Francisco Bay. China Camp once supported a substantial shrimp harvesting operation but is now a California State Park, a popular get-away for local hikers, mountain-bikers, artists, and photographers.
