Tree Felling

On our Friday walk we came across this felled tree. It was huge. Does anybody know what type of tree is pink inside? There were no workmen around to ask.

Does that mean it was alive ? Looks massive.

Some gum trees are pink on the inside. Not sure if they grow over your way though. Looks like it was a massive tree.

Husband says: maybe it's a sequoia tree.

@gijsje Well done Bep’s husband. Thank you for asking him. I googled the name and discovered that these trees were planted there in the 1800’sto honour the Duke of Wellington. Sequoia.

Great capture. I wonder why they had to cut it down?
