We are planning to plant a tree in honor of my father-in-law in the backyard
of his home in San Francisco. It is a very small yard of mostly cement, but
with a narrow strip of dirt. The house is located near the San Francisco Zoo
close to the ocean. We would like some suggestions for small trees that
would work well in the climate. I thought of a bay tree since the leaves can
be used for seasoning. We live in PA, but are from San Francisco. We plan to
contact gardening clubs in San Francisco, and the botanical garden in Golden
Gate Park for suggestions also, but I thought people in this group might
have suggestions.

Thanks


Tom
