Flowering dogwood (p 69)

The book and a nice plaque mention that this small tree was planted in 1882. In front of Nordstrom in the Lloyd Center.

Atlas cedar (p 60)

Across from and south of 2005 NE 17th.

Spanish chestnut (p 57)

I'm thinking the authors may have written down the wrong address, because I couldn't match up the background houses or streets. A big ? on this one. 2853 NE 56th

European white birch (p 50)

Another tree mysteriously cut down. One can hope for good reasons. 108 NE Laurelhurst Pl.

Pacific Madrone (p 47), 6114 NE Willow

That ugly stump and wasted firewood is all that's left of a great tree, 20 years and 20 days later.

Red Maple, p. 36, NE 21st and Hancock

22 years after being "severly pruned", these trees have filled out nicely. 2577 NE Multnomah.
