So many other trees - which are not record breakers - are interesting too.<br /><br />Cheers - Stewart M <br /><br />PS: this is not a grumpy comment - but I just like most trees, not just the famous tall ones.Stewart Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04622420206244603688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083229388630903702.post-47806553135556445322014-06-30T22:00:27.264+01:002014-06-30T22:00:27.264+01:00Interesting post and shots.
