Thanks to Charles who sent the above photographs of the three Giant Redwoods in Dudwick Park, Buxton. He wrote to say, "It is nice to find a Wellingtonia enthusiast. We have one in our garden. I estimate it is about 35 metres high and its trunk is 250" round at shoulder height. I think it might have been planted in the 1850's but there is no record of that. It certainly makes a mess in the garden at this time of year!" Yes, they do make quite a mess this time of year. I still have a number of people who write to ask if the browning and dropping of foliage is something they should be concerned about. I am able to reassure them that despite their classification of evergreen, they do shed and replace foliage. A fine trio of Giant Redwoods and it is always great to see new ones being planted.
