This was a really remarkable and unexpected find. The driveway leading up to the Botolph Arms pub in Peterborough is lined by an avenue of no less than thirteen Giant Redwoods. Sadly a couple of the trees had been cut down, but it was heartening to see that a new one had been planted and is now around 7ft tall.

The peculiar shaped Redwood looks as though it was once two stems from a base, but as you can see it has had some pretty drastic surgery.
