30 Seeds Giant Sequoia, Tree Seeds (Fast, Evergreen, Bonsai)
Leaf: Evergreen, blue-green; may be scale-like and appressed, or awl-like and spreading, depending on crown position.
Flower: Monoecious; males egg-shaped and very numerous in spring; females egg-shaped, yellowish.
Fruit: Brown, oval, woody cone, 1 1/2 to 3 inches long. Mature in 18 to 20 months, though they typically remain green and closed for up to 20 years; each cone has 30 to 50 spirally arranged scales, with several seeds on each scale giving an average of 230 seeds per cone.
Twig: Tightly covered in awl-like or scale-like leaves, later turning reddish brown with scaly bark as the leaves fall off. Lower branches die fairly readily from shading, but trees less than 100 years old retain most of their dead branches. Trunks of mature trees in groves are generally free of branches to a height of 100 feet, but solitary trees will retain low branches.
Bark: Very thick (1 to 2 feet) on large trees, deeply furrowed with large rounded ridges, fibrous.
Form: A massive tree with thick heavy limbs, 250 to 300 feet tall, 10 to 15 feet in diameter.

Grows best in cool, moist climates with consistently high moisture levels. Intolerant of dry soils. Generally intolerant of temperature extremes. Should be protected from cold winter winds.
Culture: Giant Sequoias are cultivated in Europe and eastern North America as well as the US West Coast. They do best in a moderately fertile, deep, well drained soil, in full sun to partial shade. They like a cool climate. Giant Sequoias grow rapidly for the first few centuries and then slow down as they surpass 150 feet in height.
Uses: Shade tree, Bonsai. In its natural habitat, this is a very large tree that needs a very large space. In the right climate, young trees make attractive additions to large gardens.
