Kensington Pepper Trees Since early 2018, when a "Conserve-a-Tree" application was submitted to the City of San Diego for 37 street trees, the Kensington-Talmadge Planning Group and SOHO have been advocating to retain 36 (at press time) c. 1910 pepper trees, which provide abundant shade and character to the historic neighborhood. Years before that, residents such as Maggie McCann were organizing to save these stately trees planted when the original subdivisions were built. However, the City is violating its own policy regarding public notification for undergrounding utilities that will impact these trees, and it is failing to process the Heritage Tree nomination that would protect them. Two legal challenges are pending on the removal of two specific pepper trees without following the municipal code process, and others are at risk of surprise removal by City crews.
