Sandringham House

A glorious sunny day at Sandringham

The grounds of Sandringham are home to a superb collection of Redwood trees. As well as some magnificent Giant Redwoods spread across the estate, there are two Coast Redwood in the car park and three Dawn Redwood in a more wooded area. One of the Dawn Redwood has split into two trunks for much of its height, something that isn't seen very often in these trees. Some of these Giant Redwood (Wellingtonia) are among the biggest found so far in Norfolk. Most of the larger examples are in the private section adjacent to the estate offices, however, the tallest tree at Sandringham is to be found on the far side of the North garden (tree no. 6 on the chart below). Beside this tree is a plaque which reads: "Wellingtonia Gigantica planted by Princess Christian of Denmark 2nd November 1863." Notice how the tree has been refered to as Wellingtonia Gigantica. This reflects the confusion and variations of name that were prevelant before the name Sequoiadendron giganteum was established.
