Welcome to Picton

As I drove by the town park I did a double take at the tree- the largest domestic Sequoia I've ever seen. Sequoias werent discovered until the late 1800's. 100 feet high in 150 years- almost a foot a year! It had a special plaque, there was another of the same size on the opposite side of the park. Testament to the greenhouse like weather of New Zealand.
