Bayview/Hunters Point Tree Locations
One standout tree in this neighborhood is the Japanese pagoda tree at 1755 Revere Street (the only one I'm aware of in San Francisco). There is also a beautiful Bailey's acacia at 1799 Revere/Newhall (Newhall side), not far away. The 13 Canary Island Palm trees on Quesada just west of 3rd Street are also standouts. They're maintained by the Quesada Gardens Initiative (www.quesadagardens.org), a resident-led, all-volunteer group that is building community in San Francisco’s Bayview neighborhood through greening, sustainable food production, public art and events.
Otherwise, this neighborhood has some nice specimens here and there, but could use some more trees! Friends of the Urban Forest has targeted this neighborhood for help, so contact them if you live here and want to plant some trees.
(Note: if you do not find the tree you are looking for, click here to check a listing of less-common trees citywide). For photos of most of these trees, visit Friends of the Urban Forest's tree photos page (trees listed alphabetically by latin name).
