Sequoiadendron giganteum - Big Tree. Wellingtonia. Giant Redwood. Native of California, USA. A true giant among trees. A fine specimen tree where space is available. Likes an annual rainfall of 1.3 metres in rich deep soil. 6 metres high x 4 metres wide in 10 years in our Nursery/Garden. Zone 7. |
| Seedlings | PB 6.5 | 50-65 cm high | Not available this season |
********************
Sequoiadendron giganteum 'Cream Tower' - Same growth habit as the species but being a lemon colour probably slower growing. Further information in due course after some years of observation.
| Grafted | PB | Not available this season |
********************
Sequoiadendron giganteum 'Dolimore' - A selection made in the South Island of New Zealand. This one very much more compact than the Sequoiadendron giganteum 'Pendulum' form. We are still evaluating this but it does seem a very neat compact form suitable for a small garden. 5.5 metres high x 70 cm wide in 10 years in our Nursery/Garden.
| Grafted (Stkd) | PB | Not available this season. |
********************
Sequoiadendron giganteum 'Pendulum' - Weeping Wellingtonia. This remarkable tree must have the greatest height-for-width ratio of any. The branches hanging close but loose into the trunk make a tall tapering spire narrower than any other tree known to us. An excellent ornamental. Salt laden wind in our Garden ruins the overall appearance if this most unusual tree. 8 metres high x 80 cm wide in 15 years in our Nursery/Garden.
| Grafted (Stkd) | Not available this season |
