Yes boys and girls, this is why you don’t cut down trees unless you absolutely have too, because they take generations to regrow back. Hard to watch those cut down great trees that took 100 years to grow.
Я живу в России, и очень хотел бы тоже посадить секвойю у себя на участке, но у нас маленькая влажность воздуха и зимой -30° спокойно, и глубена промерзание почвы 1.5 метра. Но я думаю что если например сделать деревянное кашпо в высоту 1 метр хотябы, и посадить в него секвойю,и дать еë пожить там лет 5,что бы она заполонила там всë своими корнями,и потом просверлить буром в земле дырку и посадить уже в открытый грунт, а на зиму закладывать еë всю сосновыми ветками и замотать какой-нибудь скатертью чтобы было больше шанцов еë выживанию, ну или просто в кашпо и все, но это ещё прорастить надо.
I'm not even subscribed I just remembered that some guy was planting giant sequoias somewhere, I check the channel and I see an upload from yesterday. Awesome.
The most terrible...frequently they die in Europe after 200-300 years. Funny? 200-300 for us is too much! But for the sequoias it is like 10 years baby death. My own 10 dendrons only 4 years. And today problem - where to implant them from the pots? Crimea or Caucasus? Both ways expensive - to transport then from Siberia. Caucasus soil very wet and far from original. I know one 4 year tree in Adler arboretum with permanent big problem. Better for Taxodium and Metasequoias. Crimea is a good place. But local administration don't aloud that - they keep only endemic, local forms of the trees, yellow pines...which growth there many billions years! Ahahaaha! Good way to do nothing and make face, you do greet job. At the same time they easy give orders to cat old rare species in nature reserves, to build there big villas for rich businessmen and officials. There is little space for trees - these places are needed for the luxurious life of the elite. And this is a real problem. Enormous Russia, its hundreds of thousands of rich people want to buy places to live on tiny coastal areas of Crimea and the Caucasus, in the mountains. And for them to buy local officials to cut down a grove of 200-year-old Lebanese cedars is as easy as pie. Of course, they promise to plant new trees in another place... But these are just words. Look at their words about yellow pines. These people have no soul, desire or ability to do anything useful.
Will definitely follow in your footsteps one day and plant my own. Crazy the exponential growth over the years! Gardener in Scotland that makes yourube vids. Look forward to the next update.
Ik ben bezig met wat Sequoia zaadjes te kweken ik zocht voor meer informatie op internet en kwam dit filmpje tegen toevallig denk ik dat het in rijswijk is maar ik zou hem een keer willen bewonderen
Very cool documentary on your trees. 🌲 🌲 I just recently planted a seedling that I ordered from an online nursery. It’s in a 2 - 2.5 gallon pot for now. Hopefully I can transplant it into a larger pot in 2-3 years from now. On another note, does anyone have advice on what fertilizer works best for potted giant sequoias?
Your patience is inspiring, I planted one as well in our weekend cottage in the mountains in Serbia and I'll be back in a week for another visit and see it's progress along with other specimens which I brought over from the States.
Thank you very much for making me dream with your video and work with those two wonderful young trees! I'm watching you from New Caledonia South Pacific. Is it possible to have picture of them of today?
Thank you for sharing this. I live in California. I have always loved the Sequoia trees (coastal redwoods as well as the giant sequoias). I just started germinating some seeds I brought back from trip to see the Sequoias. I wish I had started this project 20 years ago, but better late than never. These trees will outlive us all and many generations after us. I hope to leave the world a better place than I found it. It’s these little acts of kindness that matter. One note I would like to make is that these giant sequoias have shallow roots and they grow better in groves. Plant other sequoias near them as the hold each other up by interweaving their roots. One of the main reasons of their death is just falling over. Thank you for sharing this beautiful journey.
