Description

The listing, **~GIANT SEQUOIA SEEDLING~** has ended.

This beautiful and majestic tree is commonly found in the far northwestern part of the United States. They are a very hardy tree since they have had to endure a large variety of growing conditions throughout time. These trees will grow to magnificent heights and provide great beauty for any landscape(In just about any climate). It is also a popular choice for bonsai growers worldwide.

I only have one available at this time. It is between 9 & 10 inches tall and will be shipped in the cone shown in the picture(Inside a package of course). The cone provides a very moist growing condition which is very necessary for a seedling of this quality! This would make a fabulous Christmas gift for the gardener on your list(you included). I have started my auction a little high to help curb shipping cost but when you receive your tree you will agree that it was well worth the extra credits.

Please note: These trees are EXTREMELY difficult to start from seed. It takes a long time and there is only about a 1 in 10 success rate on actually getting a seedling.

IF GIN IS USED YOUR TREE WILL BE SHIPPED PRIORITY MAIL TO INSURE YOU GET IT BY CHRISTMAS!(Provided there is enough time left by the time you use it) Also a special bonus will be included for using GIN.

Happy Bidding!

Questions & Comments
Original
I feel I should take a moment to explain some things about starting a Sequoia seedling. In the wild Sequoias are only fully germinated following a forest fire. With that said, I have to create the conditions of a forest fire in order to get any seeds to germinate in the first place. The only seeds that can germinate are ones that are fertile. I have yet to have more than half of my seeds fertile. That reduces my seeds by at least half. Then in the first days of their tender new lives they are prone to a large variety of diseases and problems such as molding etc. I have started more than 50 seeds to obtain "3" seedlings of which I thought I would share "1" with some other Listian. These seedlings are about 16 months old and are very hardy and stable. I hope this has cleared up any questions that anyone might have. Thank you for taking the time to look at my auction.
