These natives of the US west coast were planted about 150 years ago in Weinheim. The single specimen in the trial garden Hermannshof and in the forest arboretum Exotenwald there are about 50 of these giants left of about 150.

Yes, they are. The forest where these grow is within a few hundred metres of my childhood home. I grew up with them and I’ve always liked them but never knew how awesome they are.
