Wellingtonia 66

A trio of young Wellingtonia snagged on the roundabout on the roundabout which gives access to Northey Road (right) from the road to Cheam. A roundabout which I used to use five or six days a week when I was cycling to Cheam every day for my bread, ten years or more ago now. But that was, almost as many years before I started collecting Wellingtonia and they would, in any event been quite small then, below the scoring threshold.

The first tree, with the lead shoot having been lost about ten feet from the ground, act of god or otherwise. A forked tree in the making.

The second tree, possibly in the same case as the first.

The third tree. This one looks to be entire. The group should be rather impressive in years to come.

The fairly new, church behind, top right in the aerial view above. To which I shall return in due course. In the meantime, previous notice is to be found at reference 2. On which my present recollection is that I did have a word with one of the policemen there, but a word which did, indeed, fall well short of quizzing during the ceremony. So I was well short of the full story.
