Re: Mystery tree

Joe,
My first thought was that it was some type of Ficus.  One can see similar types in San Francisco, just as nicely pruned in certain areas.  Although I don't know which species they are either.  Thus, I agree with your thinking on this.

Subject: Mystery tree

There's a historic building in Monterey called the Mary C.W. Black Studio House and in the garden is a tree I've not seen anywhere else in Monterey. I'm curious as to what it might be. Here's a rather large photo of the house and the tree:

Ideas?


Thanks!
