My late father must have planted these in the 1950's hence they're so mature. They take such a long time to grow. My grandfather planted a hedge in the 1920's and that is very mature and acts as a good wind break. Indeed relatively younger single specimens can be very special when left to their own devices to grow to maturity. As indeed conifers can be.

Stumble It!
