Featuring giant redwood / giant sequoia. Verified occurrence recorded by Redwood World. This large Giant Redwood at Redwood Manor in Tanners Lane is yet another that was originally found by Luke during his travels in Haslemere. This tree has lost a few metres from the top some years back, possibly due to a lightning strike or storm damage. The picture above shows the bark very wet after a morning of persistant rain. Next to the car park there is also a young tree, perhaps around seven to ten years old. If anyone has any knowledge of the exact planting date we would be pleased if you would Contact us with information. Next to the Wellingtonia is this magnificent old Cedar. It is covered in an immense quantity of cones and each year, unfortunately, it covers the area with a liberal dusting of bright yellow pollen! A small price to pay for such a fantastic view.

Redwood species here
Native to the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, giant sequoias were introduced to Britain in the 1850s during the Victorian plant-collecting era. They are the world's most massive trees by volume and have thrived in the UK's mild, wet climate, often growing faster than in parts of their native range. Many Victorian-era plantings now rival mature specimens in California.

Species Present
Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum)
Native to the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, giant sequoias were introduced to Britain in the 1850s during the Victorian plant-collecting era. They are the world's most massive trees by volume and have thrived in the UK's mild, wet climate, often growing faster than in their native range. Many Victorian-era plantings now rival mature specimens in California.
Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens)
The tallest trees on Earth, coast redwoods can exceed 100 metres in their native California. Less common in Britain than giant sequoias, they prefer sheltered, moist locations and can still reach impressive heights in the UK. The tallest known coast redwood in Britain is over 50 metres.
Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides)
A deciduous conifer thought to be extinct until rediscovered in a remote Chinese province in 1941. Seeds were distributed to botanical gardens worldwide in the late 1940s. Unlike its evergreen relatives, the dawn redwood loses its needles in winter, turning a striking copper-bronze in autumn.
