Mission Tree Locations
(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).
Like Potrero Hill, this neighborhood can support trees that need a warmer, sunnier microclimate, like the Jacaranda, which does poorly on the western side of the City. There are several trees in this neighborhood that are relatively rare in SF - such as the Castanea sativa (Sweet Chestnut) indicated below.
