| The large Giant Redwood is easily visible from the A12. It is rather cramped by two adjacent pines so it is not as nice a shape as it could be. Also in the same grounds are two fine examples of Coast Redwood, two very young Dawn Redwoods and most important of all, a baby Giant Redwood of just 2 metres high. It is good to know that there are still some people managing grounds, such as this, who are imaginative enough to seek out special trees like these. |
