Wellingtonia (Sequoiadendron giganteum). Giant Sequoia / Sierra Redwood Bonsai Tree in training pot.
Inspiring.
I have a Sequoiadendron Giganteum (Giant Sequoia) that I will plant in the corner of my yard in the spring. A friend brought it back to me after a trip to California. It should have no trouble in my climate, although it is far from Sequoia National Park.
My wife objected at first saying it will get too big... but we are both near 50, so in our lifetimes it will not. In about 1000 years though... they will see it from all over town!
You can order them online... they need to be planted in a place where they will get plenty of water from above. They need a lot of water and the one thing they will not tolerate is drought.
The giant redwoods not only need a warm enviroment, they need a moist one, as in almost daily fog.
My 90-year-old Papa planted an avacado tree in his yard about five years ago. He called planting it a “leap of faith.”
I think most trees are leaps of faith in the next generations.
