Sacramento is known as “The City of Trees”. It’s an urban forest the likes of which you don’t often encounter.

Only Paris has more trees within the city limits.

And at least half of our trees are Valley Oak, with some of the big ones dropping a thousand pounds of acorns every year.

“some of the big ones dropping a thousand pounds of acorns every year.”

Wow! Our neighbors across the street have a prolific oak. It was a volunteer that showed up when we moved in 35 years ago and it is now huge! It really drops acorns all over the road in the fall and the cars drive through them “crunch, crunch, crunch.” Acorn pulp all over the road. Every spring, I pull up about 20 that have sprouted in our yard thanks to the squirrels planting them for us.
