I love how, in this part of California, a neighborhood can happily contain Washingtonia palms (native to southern California's desert oases), coast redwood (native to the coast from Big Sur to slightly into Oregon), citrus, stone fruit, persimmon, and wild nearby, all the bay laurel and California oaks and endemic California sycamore and walnut and big leaf maple and chaparral plants that have been so well preserved in this less eucalyptusy corner of the bay area.
