Higham - White House (Suffolk)

This one must rank among the broadest Giant Redwood trees in the country, being an incredible 7.27 metres in girth at chest height! Believed to have been planted in the 1850's (soon after they were discovered), this giant has had 150 years of growth so far, and of course has only just started. It is a little shorter than might be expected, but that could be an unfortunate lightning strike or two. Naturally, the photograph really does not do this tree justice!
