The Trees of San Francisco (Crowd-sourced)

I was trying to identify a fairly common tree in North Beach. I wasn't sure what it was and just now I stumbled across this crowd-sourced map of the trees of San Francisco. This is so cool there just aren't words.

It's similar to this crowd-sourced map of SF graffiti murals in that it's updated by the public at large. Brilliant. :)

Incidentally, the tree I was attempting to identify was the Ginkgo Biloba tree.
