Is that a type of Red Wood that grows to over 300 feet? I saw one in the grounds of Muncaster Castle, when I looked up I couldn't see the top. I thought I was pushing it with a sycamore I doubt either of ours will get very large if they are in pots - phew.

it is, coastal redwood. they're the tallest trees in the world (currently, at least), and reach up to 400 foot.

I've got around 6 Oak, 2 Beech, a Dog Rose and a Hazel in pots in the garden, growing them is easy it's just findig somewhere to put them which is the hard thing

Hi Goosey unfortunately sicimore in england isn't very beneficial to our wildlife it will house but a few birds and insects etc in comparrison to our oaks they will host thousands. But a tree is still animated and living and gives us oxygen so i'd still go about planting her! Is there any green corridors near you where theres room for a sicimore?
