Welcome to SFTrees - my name is Mike Sullivan, and this is my place
for information about information I've collected and want to share about
San Francisco's trees. I hope you enjoy it!
San
Francisco Landmark Trees San Francisco has
an amazing variety of trees - not just in its parks, but on its
streets. This is where you
can find San Francisco's landmark trees, listed by species. The
best ginkgo, the best liquidambar, etc. It's also a resource where you can find
unusual trees that are rare in San Francisco - currently over 220 trees are
listed.
My Book!
My book, Trees of San Francisco, has been published by
Pomegranate Press. 100+ photos of landmark San Francisco trees, 7
neighborhood tours of the Castro, Cole Valley, Potrero Hill, Pacific Heights,
Financial District, the Mission, and Parnassus Heights, and over 200 landmark
trees identified. Help this first-time author, and buy the book!
