Oakland on a typical day.Many of the Oakland palm trees, such as those which mark the former eastern edge of Borax Smith's estate, Washingtonia Robusta Palm Trees, that were planted in the late 1800s. At the time, planting palm trees in this temperate Bay Area climate was all the cool, hip and trendy rage.
Those palms that are pictured below are examples of trees that need to be trimmed.
