"The original Coast Redwood tree was planted
by our 26th President Theodore Roosevelt on May 11, 1903. This majestic redwood was located on the southwest comer of Campbell Avenue at Winchester Boulevard. It stood in
that location, growing to a height of about 70
feet, until September 30, 1964, when It was cut down to widen Winchester Boulevard.
The stump from that tree was rescued from a
San Jose dump off Story Road by Campbell
Garden club member Lilyann Brannon.
Through her perseverance, it was replanted at
what was then called Vasona Garden center
on October 16, 1964. The tree you see before
you grew from that stump."
