California Giant Redwood Sequoia Tree Seeds – 50 Winter-Hardy Seeds

The California Giant Redwood, scientifically known as Sequoiadendron gigantea, is an evergreen conifer known for its distinctive reddish-brown, soft, thick bark. These impressive trees feature a large conical crown, with upper branches that stand upright while the lower ones hang down with upright tips. Younger trees exhibit a nearly perfect conical shape, and as they mature, their tops become more rounded. Although the wood quality is low, the Giant Redwood serves a decorative purpose in landscapes. When planting, it’s beneficial to refrigerate the seeds for several days to weeks before sowing. Place them about 1/8 inch deep in contact with moist soil, ensuring they receive adequate light for successful germination. The seeds are sensitive to drought, so gentle watering and covering with a glass plate or plastic can help maintain moisture without harming them. Growing information:

• Scarification: Soak in water for 24 hours
• Stratification: Cold stratify for 30 days
• Germination: Ensure seeds are tamped into the soil
