RB Tree

The landmark huge camphor tree at the corner of 18th Street and Capitol in Sacramento will come down Wednesday, August 22, 2012 due to a disease called verticillium wilt. The tree - planted in 1886 - has stood over midtown through the decades as the neighborhood changed. Watch a video tribute to the old tree. For more information about a farewell on Tuesday.
