Sequoiadendron giganteum - Giant Sequoia, Sierra Redwood, Wellingtonia Seeds

Description

Sequoiadendron giganteum is one of the most magnificent tree species on Earth, renowned for its immense size, longevity, and majestic presence. A long-lived, evergreen conifer, it can reach 50 to 85 meters in height over centuries, with a massive, reddish-brown, furrowed trunk and dense, pyramidal crown. Native to the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, it thrives in full sun and deep, well-drained soils with consistent moisture. Young trees grow relatively quickly, making them excellent as statement trees in large landscapes, parks, and estates. Extremely cold-hardy once established, the Giant Sequoia is a symbol of strength, endurance, and natural grandeur.
