I saw this magnificent tree on the isle of Arran. To be honest I had no idea that Scotland had anu giant redwoods, but there are several on the island.

Saw this tree in the grounds of an inn on the isle of Arran. A wellingtonia, AKA giant redwood. A massive trunk, but maybe small by US standards.

Saw the #ThickTrunkTuesdays, #ThickTrunkTuesday, #TreeTrunkTuesdays & #TreeTrunkTuesday tag in my feed and found the exact right moment to post this photo (which is somehow 20 years old) of young Jack with my arborist turned accountant father standing on a redwood stump when we lived in California. And the next job he had after this took us from California to Michigan was a nonprofit nursery devoted to repopulating the earth with redwoods!
Apparently, this stand of Redwoods is used for photo shoots. I can understand why.
Interestingly, in this photo ferns can be seen to the left-hand side suggesting that maybe foresters are clearing the undergrowth from the rest of the stand?

By the time it was 9am we had done the 2km walk to and from Lake Victoria. Some other time we will do the circuit.
Our next stop was a stand of Californian Redwood trees planted in 1936. This stand of trees is now quite tall (I am not sure how tall). What struck us was how un-Australian the nature of the understory of these trees were. There was nothing underneath the trees other than their leaf litter. Australian bush in these parts is thick with ferns, bushes, small trees etc. Amongst the Redwoods there was nothing. There were no birds either.
I have no idea what the understory of Redwoods look like in their native habitat. Perhaps foresters were clearing the understory?

New research suggests we have over six times as many #GiantRedwood in UK as in their native habitat of California. These three in #NethyBridge are around 130 yrs old. More info on BBC here https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-68518623
