A more than 130-year-old valley oak tree near Downtown Healdsburg will stay standing, at least for now. The tree was scheduled to come down on Friday. But, after a few people spoke up in its defense, Sonoma County officials decided to put its removal on hold. Two licensed arborists recently determined the tree is in declining health and has extensive root rot, making it unsafe. The tree’s fate is ultimately up to Sonoma County, since it stands on a county-owned parcel of land.
