post your trees!

Bizarrely there are actually 2 sequoias close to where I live. I assume an enthusiastic Victorian planted them. They haven't reached the height of their US cousins but still nice to have little "grandness" from across the pond in my backyard

Very cool--with the right grow-site, y'all might have to equip with aircraft warning lights in a few decades.:) (FWIW, it's the Scottish palm trees that have always made me chuckle.)

At any rate, there was of course much to-ing and fro-ing of rootstocks between Britain and her American colonies back in the day, much of it funneled through a Quaker mafia made up of merchants like Peter Collinson and physician John Fothergill, who distributed the finds of their man-on-the-ground, Pennsylvanian John Bartram, to the moneyed elite of the day.

Hiking on the west coast of Scotland many years ago much to my bewilderment I spotted some of those palm trees on a beach. Come to think of it, it may have been on the Isle of Harris

Little tree in a wheat field. Always thought to photograph it passing it by on my bike, finally did it with the 4x5 on Fomapan 100, f45 around 30s without the orange filter I was trying to find.
