Red tingle trees

[Penpal]

Just received a daily special tip today it was on wines and a reference was made to Red Tingle Tree this piqued my curiousity and I googled this and they are one of the ten largest trees on the planet located in WEstern Australia one tree is 25 metres around the girth. Worth a google and gasp new tree to me.

Peter.

I also found them in Denmark, next time I am there I will make a detour. Great architecture for a tree.
