REDWOOD grove in the Crimea - a place that has long been hidden from tourists. Crimea is admirable.

A place that struck me. Every day Crimea opens in a new way. Those who watch my videos on RUclips know how much I love the Redwood tree. So, did you know that in the Crimea there is a whole grove of SEQUOYADENDRON YAROSLAVTSEVA? I didn't know either until yesterday)) until one of my subscribers told me about it. As soon as I found out about this grove, I immediately went in search of it. The path was not difficult at all from Simferopol by trolleybus to Angarsky Pass, and then 4 km on foot through the beech forest and we are there. In the middle of the twentieth century, a researcher at the state Nikitsky Botanical garden, Gennady Danilovich Yaroslavtsev, decided to conduct an extraordinary experiment-to test how the North American Sequoia-Dendron will take root in the mountainous Crimea. Yaroslavtsev took planting material from the Nikitsky Botanical garden and in 1964 planted it on the slope of the Chatyr-Dag mountain at an altitude of about 850 meters above sea level. The experiment was unique, because no one in the Soviet Union had ever done such a thing before. Years later, we can safely say that the experiment was a success and the" mammoth tree " took root. To date, the trees have grown to 20 meters in height and 40 cm in diameter. Green giants have adapted to the Crimean climate and continue to live on, remaining the only ones of their kind in the mountain-forest part of the Peninsula. And in conclusion, I would like to cite an interesting fact: the first redwoods were brought to the Crimea in 1840 from the Russian colony in American California and planted in front of the Massandra Palace. It is believed that all the other redwoods of the Crimean Peninsula are descendants of the two that, by the way, are still alive. #Crimea #Of Romaneque #Angeripalayam
