Particularly impressive conifer that can grow in its natural habitat to heights of more than 100 m and a trunk diameter of up to 12 m. The crown diameter reaches 35 – 40 m. In Europe, it grows to heights of 30 – 50 m with a crown diameter of about 8 – 9 m. The fibrous bark can be 30 – 60 cm thick, enabling the tree to protect itself against forest fires. The reddish brown branches hang down slightly and the ends grow upwards. The sharp, bluish green needles are 1 – 1.2 cm long on the main branches and 0.3 – 0.6 cm on the young twigs. Sequoiadendron is a monoecious tree with reddish brown, ovoid cones appearing after flowering. At first the cones are upright, but once they ripen, after the 2nd year, they hang down. The tree is difficult to transplant. The trunk of the largest tree in the world, the General Sherman, a Sequoiadendron giganteum. Photographed in Sequoia National Park in California (USA).
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
Sequoiadendron giganteum can eventually reach a height of 30 - 50 (100) m, fast growing, depending on the site and climate conditions.
Sequoiadendron giganteum is fast growing and can eventually reach a height of 30 - 50 (100) m, fast growing, depending on the site and climate conditions.
The right time to plant Sequoiadendron giganteum is during the dormancy period. In Western Europe, Sequoiadendron giganteum with root balls can generally be planted from mid-November to late April, although this depends strongly on the climatic conditions and the species of tree.
