Fremont Mango tree and palms and cacti.

#1

Post by Stan »

It might be the largest Mango in the bay area. Largest I've seen. This is a hilly,frost free area that in summer is also warmed by all that. Its 85f here and 15 minutes away in Hayward it was 80f with a bay breeze. So,this has a soucal feel to it. I saw some big Brahea's and the amount of 100 year old Washies by Mission San Jose was huge.
A very good place in the bay area to do the tropical look in other words.

All but the line of Washies was on just one street. I even passed on a trunking Majesty palm behind hedges.
