You are indeed ..very VERY fortunate! Those redwood grove form an outdoor cathedral.
Not in my garden .... but not far from me when I am in CT ... the Pinchot Sycamore...

Now THAT’S a glorious tree!
BTW, I live on 33 acres of those red giants.

Bah, PC eco propaganda from her, too. :(
To: Daffynition
The tree, nicknamed Herbie and acclaimed as the tallest and oldest elm in New England, survived 14 bouts of Dutch elm disease in all, thanks to Knight's devotion. Now the disease ravages again and Herbie is too weak to fight back. Knight, now 101, said there's nothing else he can do to save the tree he's watched over for five decades... Herbie, estimated to be about 240 years old, will be cut down Jan. 18. Knight, consulted by tree experts who made the decision, is resigned that the end has come.
Ouch. Thanks D.
