Riding bike down my road tonight,and here was treeman extraordinaire Jack Oakander giving this grownup Cypress tree a nice graceful shape. Jack’s company, Pacific Slope Tree Co., does tree work in the San Francisco area, especially Marin County. Sun just starting to set, can see it shining through bottom of tree.

Thank you for the picture. Reminds me of 2 large cypress trees next door to me when I lived in Inverness Park.
Unusual photograph and lovely tree.
Is he in the tree or on a ladder. That is quite a big task.
hard to imagine a 1000 yr old tree. Amazing. Glad they were able to save this one.
