Giant Sequoia Cultivation

It's winter; those are called freezer deer.

Thanks for asking. Last winter all of them made it, in varying states. Most lost the top 50% or so of growth then proceeded to regrow from previous branches. We lost two this winter it looks like (they were barely hanging on as is) but the rest are still growing... We're at I think 8 in the ground that are now at year two or three depending on which it is. Lost the ones I had in pots due to life issues, but not a big deal, I can replace as I see fit at this point.

Hoping to see lots of growth on the few I have in the ground this year. Biggest is probably 2'? It'd be at twice that at least I'm sure if it hadn't gotten obliterated by a freeze.

Don't sequoias like fire? Maybe you should try setting them on fire?

Close, Sequoia forests love fires to clear the garbage. It'll kill anything young though. They need that foot of bark to protect them.
