Carefully hugged this smol oak tree on Shotwell Street 💚 Coast live oaks were likely the most common tree in so-called San Francisco before colonization and provide habitat/food for 270 species. But they’re rarely planted as street trees: only 9 scattered around the Mission according to DPW. The city only allows them on sidewalks 15’ wide without overhead power lines, a unicorn situation. Even then they usually plant Australian and other exotic species.
