Trewidden near Penzance (UK)

A wonderful old garden that has many mature specimens of Magnolia, Camellia and Rhododendron along with what must rank as the best stand of Dicksonias in Britain. The Tree ferns are growing in a crater made by a WW2 bomb and many were uprooted in the explosion only to re-root where they landed - tough plants! Also in the garden is the old mature Butia capitata that is nearing the end of its life.
