Local tree context

What do La Jolla trees need?

Coastal San Diego has specific tree concerns. Salt-pruned Monterey and Torrey pines stress in saturated soil after winter rain. Mature queen palms and Canary Island date palms need yearly service. Ficus street trees lift sidewalks and overhang power lines. We know which coastal species hold up, which ones drop limbs in onshore wind, and where the city's Heritage Tree protections apply.
