This unusual example is along a main road (B4399) in Hereford, at the corner of Fir Tree Lane. Measuring the height was a little tricky with the surrounding roads and between heavy showers. Luckily the big branch out to the side was just above the 1.5m mark, so measuring the girth of this Wellingtonia was easier.
