In this National Tree Week, Robin Hart explains how the Metasequoia glyptostroboides came to Britain and where to see it in Petersfield.

Robin is author of the Petersfield Tree Trail and volunteers with Petersfield Society. He’s introduced by Noni Needs.

You can get a copy of the tree trail booklet from One Tree Books in Lavant Street, or from the Petersfield Museum.

This series will continue throughout the week.
