On the side of a Texas highway, most likely on a site of a earlier settlement or Mission is a pepper tree marked by a highway sign that reads it was planted well over 150 years ago. How the facts on the sign are obtained is unknown, but it is clear there was at least one, if not more, settlements here due to the many cemeteries in the tree's proximity. The road is widened so that one can safely park on the side of the road. The tree is directly at the parking pull off.
