 Giant Redwood Sequoiadendron giganteum |
| There is a large collection of Redwood trees dotted around this area of Norwich, thanks to Rae who told us about these and sent photographs. A visit to Norwich in 2020 allowed us to see them for ourselves and take more photos and measurements. It is very tricky to get a whole picture of the trees in their leafy settings but great to see so many happily growing in an urban environment. |
