Sherman's_descendant_in_my_hood

 Once i had a dog. 

And as every dog-owner i walked my Jack-Russel-Lady daily.

On our way, we often passed a majestic sequoia-tree.

Every now and than I paused the dog-walk and admired this 

magnificent tree.

I often wondered how this Sequoia giganteum came to its

location in my neighbourhood.

Than one day the mistery was solved. 

An article in a local newspaper said, that the owner-family of the property

had visited the west-coast of the US about forty years ago.

Among other stops they also visited a very special place of the Giant Forest  

in Sequoia National Park/California.

They brought some bristle-cones of a specific tree back home, in order 

trying to plant the seeds in the garden.  Well, they obviously had success with their 

experiment.


No joke, no fake! 

On the pictures below you see a veritable descendant 

of the famous Seqouia giganteaum named "General Sherman" !!!
