Wellingtonia 111

Wellingtonia 111 was a twin trunk specimen captured in Walpole Park at Ealing Broadway. The result of a spot of Street View browsing around possible Elizabeth Line destinations, itself the result of reports about the huge amount of traffic now being carried by the line. The massive cost and time overruns now lost to view - but presumably somebody else is carrying the resultant debt. Reference 2 strong on community and achievement, weak on finance.

Close enough to see the distinctive features of the tree. Odd how the colour drains away at close quarters.

At the limit of useful zoom. The only tree that I know with scale leaves quite like this. A Leylandii has scales, but they are organised into fronds like bracken, not like what you have above at all.
