FILM and television director, writer and producer Paul Weiland has uncovered some 165-year redwood trees on his estate. The former Walkers crisps TV advert director has found 32 giant North American sequoia giganteum redwood trees while felling 50 Leylandii trees. They were discovered when he employed tree surgeon Charlie Horsfall to open up his Grade 1 listed Belcombe Court home to more light on his 60-acre estate. Mr Weiland, 67, said: “I did not even know they were there. It is like revealing hidden treasures.” The Leylandii trees were originally planted about 50 years ago for a previous owner of the Bradford on Avon estate to hide the Brunel railway and deaden the noise made by passing trains.
