There are a few California Live Oaks growing on these properties. There are five on the Berenice Place lots, the trunks of these trees were too big for me to measure with my measuring tape - that's a circumference of over 96". The Live Oak Ordinance can be found now at http://montecitohts.org/oaktreeordinance.pdf
