Description: A Boysen Oak stands on Saratoga Road on the property of the Sorosis Orchard Company. A horse and buggy drives down the road toward the viewer. On the right are tracks of the San Jose-Los Gatos Interurban Railway. This oak was much admired for its size and symmetry and was the subject of photographs and paintings. It was eventually removed in order to widen Saratoga Road.
