A large tree that I planted in the garden in the early 1980s and have ignored ever since. I walk past it, I admire it but I don't take pictures.
Consequently I have only two pictures. Trees and Shrubs online says: "A tree up to 230 ft high in its native forests, with a slender, lightly branched crown; trunk cylindrical, rarely exceeding 15 ft in girth... Native of western N. America, with its main area on or near the Pacific from Alaska to northernmost California, but also occurring in the Rocky Mountains from S.E. British Columbia to N. Idaho and N.W. Montana. It was described in 1832 from a specimen collected during the pioneering trans-continental journey of Lewis and Clark; and introduced to Scotland by John Jeffrey in 1852 for the Oregon Association." |
