Eucalyptus aka gasoline trees burn with a vengeance due to their flammable oils. They are native to Australia and brought to California in the 19th century. UCSF and the city are currently removing these trees piecemeal from Mt Sutro Open Space Preserve and replacing them with native trees better adapted to that massive crag in the center of the city. I’m a conifer snob and eucalyptus trees are an affront to my botanical tastes. Northern California is redwood country with a judicious sprinkling of pines thrown in and the always welcome California native oaks.
There’s a fungus among us
By this logic, they should cut down every tree in the city.
Save the tree. Let people tie themselves on it. It’s just people out there with not one shit to do. LEAVE T HE TREE
So sad
RIP tree.. :(
