You cannot help but be touched by the majesty of these trees as you head through California to Oregon on the coastal road into the Valley of the Giants.
A large conical evergreen it has a thick fibrous red-brown outer bark which is soft and spongy to the touch.
The slightly drooping branches bear two-ranked linear-oblong leaves.
A wonderful choice for large areas of parkland they prefer the cleaner air of rural sites and plenty of water to get them going.
