Wellingtonia 17

The Wellingtonia

The seventeenth Wellingtonia, also from Wisley, was scored not far from the main eateries, at the entrance to the northern arboretum. Some way from No.16.

The coastal redwood

In fact, one of a handsome pair of trees, the one a coastal redwood and the other the Wellingtonia, standing out above their neighbours and well visible round about. For some reason the Wellingtonia was fenced off, but by stretching I could touch a bough, so it was scorable.

They may well have been planted at the same time, but the coastal redwood was a good head taller than its cousin. It also had a much cleaner, more cylindrical trunk.

The red splodge upper right fails to compute. Something to be checked when we next visit.
