A backyard redwood tree in Glen Park is so spectacular that its owner, Marguerite Rubenstein, has nominated it as an official city landmark. And the Urban Forestry Council has her back. "The tree has a distinguished form, with two well formed co-dominant trunks, a balanced pyramidal form, and is attractive in the context of the informally forested back yard," the UFC said. Today the fate of the tree's superstar status will be determined by the Land Use & Economic Development Committee. [Under the Dome]
