#Tuesday’s #tree of the #day : the familiar Sequoiadendron giganteum : #Giant Sequoia : Sierra Redwood : Wellingtonia… sole living species in the Sequoidendron genus, a tall, statuesque evergreen conifer with spongy reddish bark. Fascinating when flying the #drone to see just how much taller it is than its neighbouring mature #trees; it dwarfs the Cedars of Lebanon & #Oaks! Its skyline #silhouette is hugely identifiable from the #Solent & Beaulieu River (which Exbury borders) – a vertical homing beacon.
