00:00Up on Old Thai Mesa, we're in search of a rare native tree called Tecate cypress, which

00:07we'd love to see take root in Lisa and Patrick's yard.

00:11Look how sketchy this road is.

00:13I look down the side.

00:14Don't look at your phone while we drive on this sketchy ridge.

00:17Yeah, this is wild.

00:20Come on, get jolly.

00:22Oh, there's our first Tecate.

00:24There's our first Tecate cypress.

00:26I guess we're going to pull over here and look at this guy.

00:28God, I'm so glad we're out walking around doing s***.

00:32Yeah, f*** the suburbs, man.

00:34So here we are on beautiful Old Thai Mountain.

00:37This is Tecate cypress, Hesperocyprus forbesii.

00:40The entire world population of this plant probably consists of less than 10,000 to 15,000

00:45trees.

00:46What if we get some of these seeds from the Tecate cypress?

00:50What if we brought them back to Rancho Bernardo and said, hey, we brought you this gift real

00:54nice?

00:56We could help you start.

00:57Oh, I see what you're doing.

00:58You're planting a seed figuratively and literally.

01:02Oh!

01:03You're doing it.

01:04You gotta tell him.

01:05We could do that.

01:06We're going to need one of the little drug baggies.

01:08Oh, yeah.

01:09You know?

01:10You got some bags?

01:11I got bags.

01:12And ecologically, this plant is the only known host plant for an endangered species.

01:16It's a butterfly known as Thorn's hair streak.

01:19I tend to like butterflies because they make me feel less homicidal when I have to go to

01:23terrible places like the shopping center, the bank, the DMV, etc.

01:29How do butterflies make you feel, Al?

01:31They too bring me relief from living in a hellscape of a built environment.
