Interesting news about CA Redwoods in the UK. [View all]
World’s largest trees 'thriving in UK'
The giants were first brought to the UK about 160 years ago, and a new study suggests they are growing at a similar rate to their US counterparts.
An estimated 500,000 trees are in the UK compared to 80,000 in California.
However they aren't yet as tall. In California they can reach 90m-high, but in the UK the tallest is 54.87m.
