My bike ride today through Frampton, and this will probably be one of the last warm days of Summer 2015.

Palo Alto(tall tree)

1910

today:

By the mid-1960s the tree was in severe decline, leading to successive die-off of the treetop, until the water table began to recover in the late 1990s. Efforts to restore the tree's health by the Southern Pacific Railroad, the City of Palo Alto and local citizens included progressive pruning of the dying treetop, addition of soil and mulch at the tree’s base, removal of dead limbs, pesticide spraying and installation of a pipe up its trunk to bring water to the top of the tree. Although the tree stands today at only 68% of its former stature, it enjoys greater health than nearly a century ago.
