BIG PACK - (200) California Redwood Tree Seeds - Sequoia sempervirens - Evergreen Fast Growth - By MySeeds.Co (Big Pack - CA Redwood)

Description

The California Redwood is a narrow, conical, evergreen conifer that is typically found in high moisture coastal areas that are regularly blanketed with fog rolling in from the Pacific. In this native habitat, it is a magnificent, long-lived tree that is generally considered to be the tallest tree in the world, growing over 300 feet with a trunk diameter of 20 feet. Although fast-growing in its native habitat, it still may take 400+ years for a Redwood to reach maturity but it can live to 2000 years or more. In cultivation outside of its native habitat, it will grow much smaller, typically 60 to 90 feet tall. Mature trees have straight, slightly tapered trunks that are heavily buttressed at the base. The trunk may rise for more than 100 feet before the first horizontal, slightly drooping, branches mark the bottom of a rounded crown. A grove of mature California Redwoods is truly magnificent. Younger trees are narrowly pyramidal and have branches all along the trunk. The bark is very thick, up to 12 inches, quite soft, fibrous and bright red-brown when freshly exposed, weathering darker. The root system is composed of shallow, wide-spreading lateral roots. Redwood is one of very few conifers that will sprout from its roots and from cut stumps.
