Anne Boynton-Trigg
Location: Riviera Dr. and Suarez St.
Reason for Nomination: Although battered by the recent rain, this tree is glorious in its structure and bloom.
Claudia Espinoza - The Big Timer
Location: Sunset Drive
Reason for Nomination: This Banyan was love at first sight. [When I was younger] I would climb a huge banyan and swing off its vines with my brother and neighbors. My mom called it the Big Timer. We eventually introduced it to my own children. The Banyan roots grow from its branches so it’s always growing outwards as our seeds should.
Dariel Gonzalez - Merrick Shack
Location: Castile Ave. and S Greenway Dr.
Reason for Nomination: The tree has surrounded an original wooden beam of the Merrick shack, their first home when they moved down from Duxbury Mass. The shack was moved to that spot and used as an office for Merrick’s plantation.
