(More customer reviews)You don't have to be an arborist to enjoy this gem! Anyone who has ever walked or driven through San Francisco and marveled at the variety of beautiful trees that line the streets will enjoy this book. Each tree described by Mike Sullivan is accompanied by a beautiful color photograph, an exact location to check out a specimen, the history of the tree itself, and any interesting nuggets associated with that tree and the history of San Francisco (like the story of Mary Ellen Pleasant, the mother of Civil Rights in SF, who planted 6 blue gums on Octavia & Bush that are still standing tall--check out the beautiful memorial plaque below the trees).
You can grab the book and take advantage of the wonderful walking tours included for several of the SF neighborhoods, or go out on a random search of your own to see how many you can identify. My 3-year old can spot a "lemon bottlebrush" even quicker than me now.
One last note on the quality of the book. From the cover, to the internal design, the paper selection, the binding, the use of color--this is just a beautiful, beautiful book--that will stand the test of time as you flip through it over and over again.

San Francisco is home to an amazingly diverse and exciting urban forest. Mike Sullivan shares his enthusiasm for San Francisco's trees in engaging and nontechnical descriptions, stories, photographs, and a series of walking tours. Natives and tourists alike will enjoy the chance to learn not only about the city's trees, but also about historical and environmental forces that have shaped the San Francisco we know.
