The first 12,5 years of two giant sequoias

@@martinvn123 we're did you get the seeds I would like to grow some of my own

@@ricksieberg4115 I actually saw some today at Walmart of all places.

Great. I hope your tree will do well.

That's great, the more trees, the better.

What part of Illinois, is there a photo of it?

I am trying to grow that and bristlecone pine btw I am in north Indiana

How well did it survive through the winter, though?

Still alive?😊

I hope I can make those updates :-)

Start growing them!

Wait for the first 14 years

The biggest one is now 550 c, (18 feet) But the bigger they get, the more they will be noticed. They can't hide in the woods anymore.

@@martinvn123 yeah, and it seems like you planted it in a public location, so the landscapers may think about removing the tree.

@@martinvn123 You may wanna try growing coast redwoods next. They grow much faster but require more water.

@@Otto-cz6by, more water? No problem in the Netherlands..lol It rains constantly.

@@Nephila23 yes it rains very much here. I meant coast redwoods need more water than giant sequoias. And actually, most of the water they receive comes from fog, which condenses on the trunk, and waters the tree. So, there really isn't any place on the earth that receives enough rainfall for coastal redwoods.

Thanks. I made a 14 year update. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j8M8aGuocco.html

The biggest one in Holland is 35 meters. It is in Brummen.

Great, I hope they will do fine. Go for it!

We need to save them😢 Last 2 years I’ve visited the national forest so many burned in the fire

they are growing nicely. Compared to me they become taller and I am not shrinking.

the sky is the limit!

Ask at your local garden center or else online. Or look for some older sequoia trees in your area. Under the trees you sometimes see cones with seeds. The older the tree the better.

They should do well. Just keep them slightly shaded. I had a bunch die off cause of our intense heat.

Sure, but keep a close eye on them. They need CONSISTENT moisture. Like water them every day. Rain alone won't be enough. They grow well on a small strip in California, due to the summer fog in the area.

The Sequoiadendron giganteum (giant sequoia) is grown in all zones. Zones refer to climate. Extreme environments like low desert and far north present challenges for the sequoias. Specimen sequoias can be found in most climates indicating that the species is remarkably adaptable. A sequoia can suck the ground dry on a warm day. If there is no natural means of replenishing the soil moisture consistently the grower must supplement the sequoias with irrigation. Failure to keep the soil moist results in a dead tree. Sequoias require moist, rich, balanced ph, and well-drained soil. Permanently swampy or muddy soil will not work. For more info: see: www.giant-sequoia.com/faqs/giant-sequoia-landscape-questions/

@@martinvn123 Crap I cant Grow Giant Sequoia Because I Dont Have All Zones And Its Cold AND Poor Ph Soil

Good, I’m in North Texas and have been wanting to grow one for years but my family thinks that it wouldn’t be possible but you give me hope

Go for it. The more trees the better.

I think the General Grant Tree in Sequoia NP is the Nation's Christmas Tree in the USA. In Holland we don't have a national christmas tree, but perhaps in 100 years these two trees could become the national christmas trees. Hope uour sprouts will survive ande one day become a christmas tree.

It is an easy job. The trees do all the work.

After one to two years, I think , depends how big they are and how strong they look. Mine were too long in the pots, but that was because I hadn't a good place to plant the trees.

“A great man is always willing to be little.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

a) 10 cm à 12 cm (4 tot 5 inches) b) two to three years. It depends how strong they look. In a pot they will grow slower than in nature.

I don't have to do much anymore. Just to watch and take a picture once in a while.

Search the internet. For instance: homeguides.sfgate.com/care-sequoia-tree-39977.html or www.giant-sequoia.com/faqs/giant-sequoia-landscape-questions/

They grow 80-100 cm a year. But in this video they don't grow fast?

Ah Northern Ireland! Go for it David!

Snow shouldn't be a problem. It's almost summer now. I hope they are growing again.

Wish you luck. They like living here in Holland in this place living 5 feet below sea level :-)

A coastal redwood will outgrow mine someday! They are the tallest trees of the world, even talle than a giant sequoia.

Thanks

That's 20%. I had two from 20 seeds. That was only 10%.

@@martinvn123 looks like none of the other seeds made it because that one that came up is still the only one even after 3 months.

@@martinvn123 It died. But that’s okay. I got 5 more and this time two came up but one of them completely disintegrated. Hopefully this one goes well.

The more trees the better. So start growing as many trees as you can.

They grow very well in the cold, there's redwoods in Oregan USA. Redwoods have been planted in Scotland and are doing fine =)

Sequoias can be found in most climates indicating that the species is remarkably adaptable. The limiting factor is the availability of liquid water in the root zone.
