When sequoias were introduced into Britain they grew at such a rate that they became the tallest trees in this country within 70 years of planting. With this painting, the artist has tried to give the feeling of the sequoia climbing skyward 'like a rocket' and being viewed in wonder by the people below (on a relatively small scale to the tree). This particular sequoia is growing in Langley Park, a few miles from the University.
