See Sugar Gum Tree (Heritage Tree #10), Coronado, California

Add to My List Check Off

Located on the right side of the 100 block of E Avenue, as one approaches from First Street, was designated a Heritage Tree on February 5, 2015. This stately Eucalyptus cladocalyx is representative of the Sugar Gums that were planted on this block at the beginning of the 20th century. Eucalyptus were imported from Australia soon after California's Gold Rush, 90% of them being Tasmanian Blue Gums. The Blue Gums are structurally weak and have other problems which these Sugar Gums lack. The residents of this block of E Avenue are proud of their "Eucs" and plan to replenish them with young healthy gums as the older trees approach the end of their life.
