The Dawn Redwood
This magnificent specimen is a Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) and was planted here after WWII when the area was very much part of the Long Ashton Research Station. The genus carries a little history in that it was 'discovered' in China and was declared to be that of a living species that was identical to fossils found from over 100 million years ago!

Old and new apples
The old part of the former Long Ashton Research Station is one of a few that have been retained after the lands were redeveloped as modern housing. The old organisation was formed in 1903 as The National Fruit and Cider Institute and occupied a site on the sloping land to the north. In 1912 it became the Agricultural and Horticultural Research Station and diversified into many aspects of growing and cultivating fruit crops, especially apples. One well-known benefit was the use of blackcurrants in a drink high in vitamin C - as the government in WWII pushed to feed the children in times of rationing. Hence Ribena became a household favourite. The station was closely associated with university work but the whole lot was closed in 2003. A nursery now occupies the building with an appropriate name - seeing as cider was a big part of the history.
