2 km of Sequoiadendron giganteum, Giant Sequoia

Popped over to Finchampstead, Berkshire for a walk around an environmentally important piece of land owned by the National Trust and drove along this avenue of Giant Sequoia. Originally planted by the land owner in 1863 although it does not state how old the trees were at planting. An impressive site and many are now located within the front gardens of homes along the southern aspect of the highway. Who needs a trip to California when they are on your doorstep!

Oh and the other very nice aspect to this is that they have not been crown lifted or pruned which means that all the lower limbs that are now dysfunctional remain in place like a ladder just waiting to be climbed by an innocent child (or adult!).
