In 'Trees in Paradise: A California History,' Jared Farmer explores the state's culture through the redwood, eucalyptus, orange, palm.
Disneyland was built on a 1,600-acre orange ranch; to make way for Mickey, 4,000 Valencia trees were bulldozed and uprooted. This is one of the jillion tree-related facts crammed into Jared Farmer's new history, "Trees in Paradise," which connects the stories of four trees to California's culture: redwood, eucalyptus, orange, palm.
