 Tree No. 1 |  Tree Nos. 3 & 4 |
| The tree next to the building is in excellent condition and is obviously well cared for; none of the dreaded ivy to be seen here. The other five other Giant Redwood trees in adjacent wooded grounds of Scarletts Residential Care Home are a different story. One looks in good shape but the others seem to be struggling a little in varying degrees. Sadly they are rather crowded by other trees and undergrowth that has grown unchecked. There is also another Giant Redwood in the grounds of Kendall School next door. |
