San Jose is removing 32 aging palm trees downtown—15 already dead or dying, the rest in critical decline—after crews discovered their rapid deterioration far outpaced expectations. Planted decades ago near California’s first capitol, these iconic trees in the historic Circle of Palms are now being taken down amid a $45,000 cleanup effort, with officials still investigating the cause, possibly linked to pink rot fungus that emerged in the early 2000s. The city spent $6 million planting hundreds of trees in the ‘80s and ‘90s, but now faces the challenge of what to do with the space—planning carefully for a thoughtful redesign.
