This large Canadian Redwood Pine situated just inside the local school's boundary, was recently felled for safety reasons. This photo was taken shortly before the sad event.

If that tree could have talked it would have had many very interesting tales to tell.

That is awful, I was fascinated by these as a child due to the planet forest moon of Endor in Return of a Jedi being shot in a Californian Location.
I just yesterday watched a documentary where the largest specimen called Hyperion has been discoverd and it is taller than the Statue of Liberty.-

Redwoods are never a hazard, not even this one. Not to worry. I planted 10 more in my garden. Nice ratio, huh? Some day a redwood grove.

A place for everything and everything in it's place. I wish people would stick to planting trees in forests and not in their gardens - they grow to ridiculous heights and can be very anti-social.
