When the site was designated a monument in 1967, there were 76 olive trees in a short stretch of Lassen Street. According to the web site maintained by the Chatsworth Daughters of the American Revolution, there are only 49 trees remaining. The trees were planted in 1890 by N. A. Grey. They are believed to have been grown out of cuttings taken from olive trees at Mission San Fernando.
