These are the tallest giant sequoias outside California. They can be found in the beautiful botanic garden of Benmore, Argyll, Scotland. This avenue was planted in 1863 and contains about fifty trees of which the tallest is now 54 m tall. Most of them are between 50-53 m tall and they are still growing rapidly.
Other remarkable British specimens can be seen in the New Forest, Hampshire, in the Royal Botanic Gardens of Kew, London or inWestonbirt Arboretum, Gloucestershire.
