About Giant, Sequoia Seed
Measured by sheer volume, the most massive tree on Earth comes from the western slopes of California's Sierra Nevada. Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) grows quickly when young into a dense, conical tree with blue-green, scale-like foliage and thick, spongy, cinnamon-red bark. In the landscape it makes an unforgettable specimen for large properties, and it is a rewarding project for anyone who wants to grow a living legend from seed.
