Giant Redwood - May 2010
This Giant Redwood stood alongside a Monkey Puzzle outside a public house on Holyhead Road, Wellington.

Unfortunately in March 2024 Iain wrote to say that he drove to see the tree as it was his nearest Redwood, but he found it had been cut down.
It was sad to hear about the loss of another Victorian-era Redwood but thank you for bringing it to my attention Iain.
