Giant Redwood - February 2004

Giant Redwood - January 2017
Not particularly large and leaning somewhat, but nonetheless still a nice tree, this one is situated just outside the Wilkin and Sons Jam factory at Tiptree. So, a sweet example of its type, one could say!

You can read more about the home of the famous 'Tiptree' preserves on the Tiptree Jam Factory website. There is a really nice cafe and very interesting museum on the premises, so it's well worth a visit if you are in the area.
