Such a foolish thought....Jesus spoke to the fig tree....

Only those born of God have the fullness of the Godhead....all others are dead in Adam, as your tree.

No. It's a Deodar Cedar or otherwise called Cedrus Deodara. They sometimes resemble a Western Hemlock but are a completely different tree. There are very few good-looking Coastal Redwood Tree specimens in Oregon or Washington. They grow very well in Washington and Oregon but require constant maintenance to ensure a strong single leader. This is because the leader gets damaged by wind and icy weather. If however the Coastal Redwood tree is maintained and made to develop a strong central leader it will become the most magnificent tree of all the Northwest and North America for that matter. Even surpassing the mighty Douglas Fir.

No it's a Deodar Cedar or otherwise called Cedrus Deodara tree. They became very popular because they are drought resistant and resemble the Western Hemlock tree of the NW which is very drought intolerant. But they are utterly different trees.

​@@jilesbo9175 thank you for tge comment, I searched what is it and I found out it is also called Hymalaian cedar. And the appearance of both Hymalaian and Atlas cedar is very semilar even from close distance (same foliage), how did you k ow it ?

​@@jilesbo9175 by the way Atlas cedar is drought resistant too !

@@Dzlyesful I'm a fan of the Aptos Blue Coast Redwood tree. They are a cultivar of the Sequoia Semperviren trees of the Northern California Coast area. They have the deepest green color, dark brown trunk and look very mysterious and enchanting. The only drawback is their leader is difficult to maintain in windy and cold areas. However once established and developed they are the king of trees imo. The Douglas Fir and Giant Sequoia both require almost no maintenance. Both of these trees develop a strong central leader and are not easily affected by wind or cold temperatures. And once established require less moisture than the Coast Redwood. The Western Red Cedar is also a good maintenance free tree but will not do well along I5 in Oregon and California since it requires more precipitation and cooler climate. The Western Hemlock like the Western Red Cedar also requires more rain and cooler weather.

yeah

No it can’t

@@jamestropicals8262 oh

Pretty certain you can. But most people go with seeds. This tree even though refered to as giant sequoia is most likely not the Sequoia Sempervirens but Sequoiadendron Giganteum. It grows in the mountains and putting the seeds into the fridge for a certain time will improve germination.

I currently have a lot of cuttings, but they don't seem to root. I irrigate them quite often, but it seems they still die. I have also grown about 200 seedlings over the last couple years and every single one of those has died. Maybe it's a "me" problem, but if you want to place a giant sequoia in your garden, better buy one that's already about 3 years old. People who grow plants for a living just know what they are doing ^^

The giant sequoia looks great because it toutches the ground with its branches. It gives it the christmas look :-) i never prune mine :-)

I agree, they should prune it. As it gets older the branches will become even larger, and they can become a hazard (some are easily a foot in diameter now). It has a nice canopy nonetheless, and it would be good for the tree and the folks who enjoy it. Due to their longevity and relation to regular fire, mature sequoias often don't have branches for quite a ways up, and they are even more majestic (I would argue).
