They are native in certain estuarian regions (where the water meets the land) of the Bay Area. Hard to say specifically, with development changing the face of things over time. The old photos might indicate, and the LB and BRS scenes don't seem to have changed too drastically.

Willows tend to grow where there is groundwater surfacing in intermittent ponds, springs, or where creeks go back into the ground.

I may regret this I know, but why do you ask?
(And no, I won't be making any Tit Willow jokes.)

Oh Gee when you ask so nice how can I refuse ...smithy

I know I saw a very small ornimental tree in front of a small building behind the cab at the Stine scene ,in a newsreel from then ,that looked like a willow . There is a significant tie in to white willow trees in my book. :twisted: :twisted: :!:
