Walnut Creek resident's palm tree headed to Bay Bridge

A big palm tree removed from a home in Walnut Creek Wednesday is headed for the new Bay Bridge.

A tree company paid the homeowner $1,000 for the tree.

It's going to be tested for diseases and then planted in the median along the approach to the new eastern span.

The tree company is still looking for more than 22 palms that are 18 to 25 feet tall.

If you want to sell yours, send a photo and information about the tree to ibuypalms@gmail.com.
