Fremontodendron californicum is found in numerous habitats across California at elevations of 400–1,980 m (1,300–6,500 ft), especially California chaparral and woodlands, Yellow Pine Forests, and Pinyon-juniper woodlands along the eastern San Joaquin Valley.
The flowers appear in dense, frilly clusters, with each individual flower colored pink and white and only a few millimeters across. The fruit is an achene, up to 2.5 mm (0.098 in) large and lacking any hair. [4] After the fruits are set, the dry calyx provides buoyancy to the detached achenes, assisting in their dispersal by wind and water. [5]
