Attlebridge - Gilham's Heath Plantation |
|
 |
| These four Giant Sequoia stand at a fairly busy junction along Reepham Road. |
 |
| Unfortunately one of the four trees seems to be in fairly poor condition, with a large proportion of its foliage gone along one side. It is not clear what could have caused this but the most probable reason is a lightning strike sometime in the recent past. |

| Terry sent in the above photograph, it's good to have an update on these trees. The one I mentioned being in fairly poor shape in 2012 has now gone but the remaining three are looking fine. |
