To be designated a “Heritage Tree” the specimen must meet the three following criteria as outlined by the Coronado Street Tree Committee:
1) Must be structurally sound, without disease, true to its genetic form, and
not topped or badly pruned.
2. Must have full potential to reach mature size and form, taking into
consideration site constraints such as adjacent buildings, parkways,
roadways, utilities, etc.
3. Must be visible from publicly accessible location(s).
Serial 003 Star Pine located in Rotary Plaza (intersection of Orange Ave. and Isabella Ave.) – This beauty also serves as the City’s living Christmas tree during the Holiday Season.
Serial 004 Torrey Pine (Sixth St. and Pomona Ave.)
These special trees are living monuments to our great city and I had a great time exploring and viewing these glorious members of our community.
