These trees (<em>Sequioadendron giganteum<\/em>), native to California, were among the earliest to reach British shores when the species had only just been introduced to the outside world, making Benmore\u2019s redwoods some of Europe\u2019s oldest and tallest, reaching up more than 50m high.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the spectre of climate change hangs over the trees and its effects are already marked. Benmore Curator Peter Baxter, said: \u201cThe trees are now existing, rather than growing. Their crowns are thinning and many lower branches are completely defoliated.<\/p>\n<p>For more Information click this report specially produced for Soroptimists <a
