Giant Redwoods at South Park



In 1863 two Sequoiadendron giganteum were planted at South Park, Darlington, and now, over 140 years later, are quite magnificent!
Here's one of them, appearing to branch from the bottom so that from far off it appears as a clump.

Giant Sequoia grow pretty good here too. I think that our regions have similarities.

My favorite trees, a few hours drive from here, are:

Coast Redwood Giants

Seems I get down there ever 6 or 7 weeks.

For landscape purposes here on the west side of Portland, I prefer the Giant Sequoia trees.
