Wallcot Pine Tree

A stately and apparently healthy Monterey pine towering over a Pacific Grove house will come down, the Pacific Grove City Council ruled 5-1 Wednesday.

The 30-year-old tree was examined by two former city foresters and both pronounced it healthy but in need of trimming, said city public works director Celia Perez Martinez.
