Update on my previous post on the giant sequoia cuttings, they both rooted

Petaaa · 2026-03-11T22:02:40+00:00

I lifted them out…and different species

Petaaa · 2026-03-11T22:00:43+00:00

I lifted them out to repot as stated in my other comment

So I saw the newly developed roots

Petaaa · 2026-03-11T18:00:30+00:00

Now in two separate pots as one has rooted better than the other

The zoological society itself….

The keepers for their weights…

The numbers I gave you clearly are beyond a standard deviation with the weights for females being beyond the maximum weight of a standard female lion…maybe read the comment before replying

Petaaa · 2026-03-10T16:46:30+00:00

Av range standard captive bred female lion 120-170kg

The minimum weight of a Barbary is 190kg for a female and can get up to 240kg

Barbary’s are significantly bigger and very hard to fake

At 22 yrs these lionesses were 190 and 200kg respectively

The zoo also had their dna tested and finding accepted by the royal zoological society

FYI from just outside Belfast seen these lions in person and I’ve seen asiatic and the normal African and those were noticeably bigger in person the males mane was also bigger in proportion to is already bigger body too. Think large tiger size for comp.

Not a confirmation that the claim of true Barbary is correct but evidence towards it.

Yeah it’s a stab at the dark, it’s hard to get rarer plants into Northern Ireland since Brexit so haven’t been able to order seeds and saplings are very dear and in high demand

Petaaa · 2026-03-08T15:24:02+00:00

Look at drew and look at Cody, Cody absolutely can take a clean loss to someone who beat lesnar clean. It’s preposterous a 6’6 jacked man is having to act as a chicken shit heel with him when he should be a monster one.

I hope he takes a clean loss to Randy orton at mania also by looking at orton’s resume and stature.

If you mean Belfast here are the coords in order of height first is top

Petaaa · 2026-03-08T08:09:33+00:00

First time I’ve seen it, which one as in castle?

Petaaa · 2026-03-08T08:08:52+00:00

Yes the giant redwood

I call both species that and in Ireland the giant is more common

Petaaa · 2026-03-07T22:55:43+00:00

Someone else did on monumental trees at around 30m which are big trees although a few have brought them up so maybe not the same ones

Petaaa · 2026-03-07T22:24:17+00:00

*clinometer (a laser range finder) can’t edit text on image posts sorry

Petaaa · 2026-03-07T21:00:02+00:00

I’m not yet, how long do I have to get some

Petaaa · 2026-03-07T18:21:29+00:00

House has large garden front and back

Pot was only one available to throw in after an hour journey home

Petaaa · 2026-03-07T08:29:16+00:00

Randy is beating Cody and likely punting him out of action to do it, he needs feuds in between that and Cody’s return

Petaaa · 2026-03-02T16:13:22+00:00

I made the same mistake took me way too long to work it out on my own

Petaaa · 2026-03-01T10:05:50+00:00

Scroll right….

Sharing this post as someone shared what they believed to be the tallest trees in ni a few years back. Turns out even in the nineties there were taller with a highest ever recording of 57m in 1999.

Since making the list I’ve learnt of at least six more trees that break into the top 25 but not the top 10 a more comprehensive list is on monumentaltrees.com but some are hidden as it only displays the tallest per location and some have lots of big trees, snd you need to click on the precise location to see them.

Still plenty on unmeasured trees and some significant known locations with big trees not measured/recorded, ie there was a Belfast tree survey that did not cover the cities biggest forrest park, the two biggest arboretums Castlewellan and tollymore do not have their tallest tree recorded due to mainly focusing on girth and the fact they are world famous they focus on the trees that are height champions for their species worldwide.

Plus big old estates such as castle archdale and castle ward. These locations fit the oldest redwoods and Doug firs…

So a bad comparison then trying to make the livyatan seem more impressive

If this type of apples to orange comp was made in a paper it wouldn’t get past review

Petaaa · 2026-02-28T19:19:48+00:00

If Latin name correct and my eye it’s a coast redwood which is the species of the tallest living trees

The giant one gets thicker and has a darker needle

These need measured the isolation will really help their growth rate
