Ashley Heath - St. Leonards Way (Dorset)

Giant Redwood - February 2022

Thanks to David for letting us know about his Sequoia. He wrote that it was; "grown from a seed set in 1964. It is now 22.86m (75ft) and 3.4 m girth at 1.5m." Location:- Grid Reference 410875 103944 50.834930N -1.847069W 50°50'06"N 1°50'49"W David added; "I have a notice on it for posterity saying that if anyone chops it down I will come back and haunt them!" "I also believe there is another Sequoia on the other side of the A31 from here, somewhere in the the Avon Heath Country Park. I am now in my 90's and until someone comes with transport I am unable to confirm this yet." Thank you for the photograph of your Sequoia, what a superb specimen and it's great to have all the details. I hope you get the opportunity to travel to Avon Heath Country Park sometime to check the other tree.
