Mags the Tree-Hugger
Sorry I haven’t been online but our ISP service was down in the area until a short time ago. Here, in the gardens of Cluny House near Edrynate, Perthshire, tree-hugger Mags hugs a Giant Sequoia or Sequoiadendron giganteum, but fails to girdle it. Of course this tree is the widest conifer in Britain with a girth of 11 m (35 ft.) so no wonder the lass couldn’t fully embrace it. It is the largest of two giant redwoods in the garden and was probably was introduced from California sometime around 1853 when plant-collector, John D. Mathew brought seeds to Britain. This giant tree is only 45 m (135 ft.) high, but these trees can reach 60 m (200ft) in height.
