Sequoiadendron giganteum, if you look closely at the image at the top of the page you can see two people at the base of the tree giving you some indication of its height. Although not hardy in Canada, I have tried to grow it in the Cuddy Gardens, it is still a spectacular tree. There are two of the oldest at Wakehurst Place posted on a previous blog, they are at the front of the mansion and are over 100m tall.
Pinus nigra does well here as there seems to be no evidence of Diplodia tip blight.
Picea orientalis, we have a cultivated one in front of the bookstore at Fanshawe College
Pseudotsuga menzeisii also does well at Wakehurst Place in contrast to the few remaining ones at Fanshawe College.
Tsuga canadensis a local native, here in the Bluebell Dell at Wakehurst Place reaching half the height of the Giant Redwoods.
