Book Update

This is the web update page for my book, Trees of San Francisco.  I've discovered a number of errors in the book, and this page will also update readers on trees mentioned in the book that have, for various reasons, disappeared.

Update
17 The Norfolk Island pine (Auracaria heterophylla) at this location was nearly destroyed by the owners in September 2004.  It doesn't appear to have long to live - a very sad loss of the Tenderloin's only landmark tree. 
39 The blue gum eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) featured in the photo on this page was planted by the U.S. Army to celebrate the nation's centennial in 1876, and is known as the Centennial Tree.
49 The silk oak featured in the photograph was removed by the owner in 2004. 
105 The Empress tree at 246 Alma was removed in 2004.  The owner has planted a new tree, which may also be an Empress tree. 
108 The giant dracaena (Cordyline australis) referred to on this page is at 1472-74 Willard (wrong address given in book)
133 The Leucadendron argenteum (silver tree) at Graystone/Pemberton was removed in 2004 due to disease.
144 The Norfolk Island Pine (Auracaria heterophylla) at this location was nearly destroyed by the owners in September 2004.  It doesn't appear to have long to live - a very sad loss of the Tenderloin's only landmark tree.
