Wellingtonia

A Wellingtonia, aka giant redwood, near Ewell Castle School and across the road from Bourne Hall. Looking a bit stressed after the heat waves, with quite a lot of brown foliage.

Presumably a tree of this size needs a fair bit of water, despite being an evergreen.

On the other hand, there is a clump of poplars or some such down Longmead Road which have already shed more than half their leaves - despite being quite near the stream.

So maybe we are just looking at straightforward cases of heat stroke?
