Hello all!
If anyone has a quick moment and wouldn't mind; do you know what type of trees are located outside the front of the Empress Hotel? The two that are leaning/weeping and very large. (hope this makes sense) I was there on vacation back in April and fell in love with them! They looked to me they looked like a set of hounds protecting the Hotel.
I have searched and searched the web today and am not having any luck. I am updating my trip blog and was hoping to know the type of tree they are.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Duff
Quick Question: Empress Hotel Trees, what are they?
I don't know what they are called, but managed to find a photo so others could look too. I hope the link works.

Those are Weeping Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum 'Pendulum') http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/82320/
Thank you so much for the Links Linda and Growin!
I loved Victoria and had a wonderful time and look forward to going back soon. My mom spent summers there with her grandparents and it was wonderful to see it through her eyes. Such a lovely city!
I am happy to finally know the type of trees!
Thanks again,
Duff
