Ascot - Englemere Park (Berkshire) |
Thanks to Andrew who wrote to try and identify this superb tree in his garden and I was pleased to confirm that it definitely is a Giant Redwood (Sequoiadendron giganteum / Giant Sequoia). He said "My plot used to form part of the Englemere House estate many years ago, which also has quite a few of these wonderful trees in its grounds today, so I'm assuming it was planted at the same time." When I've discovered one Giant Redwood in an area, I often find there are more growing nearby so it's no surprise that there are more elsewhere in the grounds of the Englemere House estate. |
