What trees in San Gabriel Valley are up against

Wind off the mountains is the big risk here. In the windstorm of late 2011, Pasadena alone counted 450 street trees down or damaged on the first day. In January 2025, the Eaton Fire burned more than 14,000 acres in the foothills. Old oaks, deodar cedars and camphors near homes are worth checking before the windy months.

Many cities here protect big and native trees closely. San Marino needs a permit even to remove a dead tree. South Pasadena only allows oak trimming from June to September. Pasadena protects native and specimen trees in front and side yards. Your town's page lists its own rules.

Many do. Several cities here protect native oaks and large heritage trees, and some limit how much you can trim in a year. The rules differ by city, so check your town's page before any cut.
