Redwood on Kern Street Prompts Local Reflections
A 100 foot redwood on Kern Street near two churches is described as a neighborhood beacon. Planted in 1966 by W T Walhoad, the tree’s trunk measures about 11 feet in circumference and it has grown rapidly to become a local curiosity and subject of questions about plant physiology and water transport in tall trees.
