High Wycombe - De Haviland Drive (Buckinghamshire) |
These two good sized Giant Redwoods sit either side of one of the entrances to a housing estate. One of the trees is unfortunately quite cluttered and so has lost a lot of its lower branches. Its partner, however, benefits from a much more open aspect and so has a much more pleasing form. |
