The courtyard of City Hall will be closed from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. on May 29, for the planting of a Quercus wislizenii (interior live oak). The new tree is meant to replace a Quercus agrifolia (coast live oak) that was removed from the courtyard in March.
Originally, the replanting was scheduled for May 15, but weather conditions forced the rescheduling. The tree that will be planted, the interior live oak, is a 60-inch box-sized tree that will match the three other interior live oaks planted on the southernmost side of the courtyard.
For more information about this replanting or the city’s tree maintenance program, contact the Pasadena Citizen Service Center at (626) 744-7311.
