Nearly half of Balboa Park’s 450+ species of trees come from Australia and New Zealand. This tour provides an overview of the park’s collection of trees from down under, which includes a variety of gums, wattles, bottlebrushes, paperbarks, and banksias. We will discuss why we have so many in the park, their unusual properties, how they are able to survive so far from their native habitats, and why some are regarded as the most valuable trees in San Diego. Forever Balboa Park offers thematic park tours that focus on the park’s unique biodiversity and highlight the park’s horticultural wonders on the first Saturday of each month. Led by park volunteer and horticultural enthusiast Bill Edwards, the free tours leave from the Visitors Center at 10:00 a.m. unless otherwise indicated. Walks last 90 minutes and are typically less than 1 mile on level terrain. It is advised that potential attendees contact the Balboa Park Visitors Center prior to the scheduled walk to determine if there are any last-minute changes or cancellations to the tours.
