Giant sequoia

On Rhinefield Ornamental Drive you'll find a large selection of non-native trees, especially in the Blackwater Arboretum which you'll easily find just off the main track. The subject of this tracelet, though, is the two heaviest trees in the New Forest, a pair of giant sequoia sitting on either side of the path.

The tracelet family is 'New Forest Outliers' and there couldn't be a better adjective for these huge trees. The tallest was last measured at 52.7m in 2024 but you can visit this page for more statistics - Giant Sequoia along the Rhinefield Ornamental Drive, Lyndhurst, England, United Kingdom
