Tree Tuesday - The Trees Of Bodnant Gardens (Part 5)

in treetuesday •  7 years ago 
A Giant Redwood planted in 1876 towers above the garden at Bodnant, North Wales.

A zinc nameplate at the base of this tree gives it the name Sequoia Gigantea but today this type of tree is known as Sequoiadendron giganteum.

A plaque near the tree explains why the change of name took place in 1939.

A big thank you to @old-guy-photos for hosting #treetuesday

Yayks! It is a huge tree! Amazing how trees can endure a mark of time, and this one certainly deserved that plating. Take care of yourself as well.

I think trees are the best plants on the planet! I love their wide range of forms and how they are able to grow in almost any habitat. Thank you for your comment. :-)
