I found Pearl Moscowitz’s Last Stand
Pearl Moscovitz’s Last Stand is the story of the street on which Pearl grew up, and the ginkgo trees planted there. In fits and starts, the trees begin to disappear, one to lightning, another to make way for a bus stop, and most of them to make room for new development, until there is only one tree left. Pearl saves the last ginkgo tree with some charm, great food, and a little activism.
