BRENTWOOD — After 2,000 cherry trees on Former San Francsico 49er Jeremy Newberry’s Brentwood farm were destroyed earlier this week — an estimated $25,000 loss — Newberry is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the vandals.
Newberry told the Bay Area News Group that he thinks it was a personal attack –someone or a group of people with a “vendetta” against him. He had planted the trees about six weeks ago on his property — which he purchased within the last year — and found Wednesday that half of the 4,100 trees he had planted were destroyed.
