Oregon ash were continuing to carry peak lemony leaves along the Iron Horse Trail, in Danville on Saturday.
Danville is a town identified by its landmark trees. The lengths that Danville goes to protect the health and preservation of them stands out. It lists these trees as protected:
- Blue Oak (Quercus Doulgassi)
- California Bay (Umbellularia California)
- California Black Oak (Quercus Kelloggi)
- California Buckeye (Aesculus Californica)
- California Sycamore (Platanus Racemosa)
- Canyon Live Oak (Quercus Chrysol)
- Coast Live Oak (Quercus Agrfolia)
- Interior Live Oak (Quercus Wislizenii)
- Madrone (Arbutus Menziesii)
- London Plane Tree (Plantanus Acerifolia)
- Valley Oak (Quercus Lobata) and
- White Alder (Alnus Rhombifolia).
It also protects heritage and memorial trees. In one famous instance, Danville refused to allow a planted redwood tree from being cut which residents said blocked sunlight from their residence. The town even went so far as to erect a formidable structure to support a 350-year-old Valley oak which is the town’s symbol.
When it comes to delivering fall color, Danville delivers.
