Imported giant sequoia trees are well adapted to the UK, growing at rates close to their native ranges and capturing large amounts of carbon during their long lives, finds a new study led by UCL ...

In the UK, the giant sequoias, which can grow up to 90 metres (nearly 300ft) tall over their 3,000-year lives, are already some of the country’s largest trees, despite only being introduced in ...

More giant redwoods in UK than in native US, study says. The enormous trees, which can grow up to around 300 feet tall and live as long as 3,000 years, grow at similar rates in the UK as they do ...

Giant redwoods - the world's largest trees - are flourishing in the UK, a study has found. The trees, which were first brought to the UK about 160 years ago, are growing at a similar rate to those ...

But the scientists in the study say they think most of the UK trees are giant redwoods. By comparison there are about 80,000 mature giant redwoods in their native range in the forests of California.
