Tree Information x
| Identifier: | CR/1071 |
|---|---|
| Tree Type: | Single |
| Registered By: | Cadwallader, B.G. |
| Registration Category: | Notable tree – National interest |
| General Notes: |
A huge cultivated tree for this species. In China, trees this size are reported to be 400-500 years old. They typically produce 'knees' like Taxodium sp. but in this instance lawn mowing activity is preventing them from forming. There is a another slightly smaller specimen nearby (Cadwallader, B.G. 2013).
