Oak tree planting - the new site for Tree and Space late July 2008

This coastal live oak was planted in late July 2008 to replace the dead tree. After doing some research I learned that this is an indigenous species that is very hearty and grows quite large. There are many of these trees about 100 feet from the site.

The plaque was moved from the temporary location to the new site right near by. You can see the eucalyptus behind the oak in the picture on the right below. The oak is currently experiencing problems due to drought here and extreme heat. The eucalyptus is, of course, doing just fine. I am trying to get more water up there consistently to help the tree.

Coastal live oak detail. Tree is not doing well. I
recently discovered that it is probably not getting
enough water and too much full sun (heat) on the
hill. October 1, 2008.
