While out looking for a Giant Redwood spotted in the distance, these three were an unexpected and pleasant discovery. The photograph on the right is of the shorter of the two young trees and has much more foliage, so much that a girth measurement was not possible. The earlier sought after tree was not found on this trip but I am almost sure it is close to these three in a garden of a house in Overton Lane.
