Oswestry - Weston Lane (Shropshire)

Thanks to Naomi for the location of a Giant Redwood with two trunks. She says, "I thought I would write to let you know about the large Wellingtonia in the grounds of our house Plas Wilmot in Oswestry, Shropshire. The tree seems to have two trunks, one slightly larger than the other. I'm not sure if it is actually two trees as the trunks are touching at the base. Plas Wilmot is also the birthplace of the poet Wilfred Owen." These photographs of two trees were taken whilst travelling through Oswestry, sadly when Naomi was not at home to enable a full picture of the tree to be taken of the Giant Redwood. The young Coast Redwood was noticed in a garden across the road, a surprising and unexpected find!
