Giant Sequoia

My tree baby arrived a day early, lush, green, and healthy😃! It was well packed and protected in a sturdy cardboard tube. It’s only been 4 days but it appears to be thriving, all the little branches have spread out and standing tall at 2 inches as if it were 300 feet tall. The instructions provided are clear and concise, explaining its history, planting tips, weather advice and planting in a permanent location. I’m so in awe of this little tree, I’m babying it like a puppy 😂. Like one owner said, “I’m attached to this little guy” It’s love at first site🥰! Kudos to Jonsteen Company for answering my question,” How can you determine if the tree is a male or female?” They said the Giant Sequoia is monoecious, producing male and female cones. The are both male and female😃! One more thing to love about these amazing trees! This will make it easy to name my tree😂

I will say that I was a bit nervous about ordering from a nursery that I couldn't physically walk myself. The reviews of others persuaded me too oder. I am glad I did. I ordered a Japanese Black Pine (Pinus thunbergii) and a Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) Both appear to be in excellent health and were labeled. The root ball of both plants were still moist when I opened the package. No browning of the foliage what so ever. I potted them right away and so we will see what they become in the future. The plants did arrive together in the same package but wrapped seperatly. They also arrived 13 days sooner than expected which I am grateful for because I was worried about them not being watered or potted for so long. They came from California and I am in New Mexico if that helps. They were sent with a little sheet that says how to pot them and what to do afterwards. Basic care kind of thing. On the other side was a few Bonsai designs and definitions for those who are using them for this purpose. The paper also stated that the seedlings are 1-2 years of age. I did tie sewing string very lightly around the black pine to get it to stand erect. So far I am happy with both trees. I do believe I will be ordering from this nursery in the future provided that the trees don't turn out diseased. I don't think that they will. Again they look wonderful.

This tree is different. You can't follow the instructions to closely or it may kill it. You have to pay attention to it and monitor. Their was a few times I thought I killed it for sure 100% brown dead, but it came back. Its been about 7 months, I've had to prune several dead branches but it's alive. Have had it under a grow light for 12 hours a day. It seems to like it.

The pictures show when I first planted in April 2024 to today in April 2026. I live in NJ, planted it in this 20 gallon fabric pot on day 1 and I am looking to plant it in the ground this year soon. I’ve left it in the same exact place mixed in with my raised garden beds and its grown to roughly 34” so far. It took a bit of a beating this winter being covered and bent over in a blizzard but seems to be rebounding okay. Snow photo is from 2025, did not get a photo from winter this year. 5 stars because it is exactly what I was looking for and as advertised. Its been fun to see it grow. Ordering a new different seedling to start since this one will be planted.

The sequoia tree arrived looking very healthy. It also is very small. 2 inches maybe. The soil that it came in is still moist and lots of roots. I'm sure this tree will survive. Is there a way I could order a much taller tree?

Grant didn't make it through the summer unfortunately. We have big plans to incorporate Giant Sequoias into the landscaping here at our cemetery and if we can get one established here then we could plant one at each of our partnering cemeteries, we manage and care for. I followed the care instructions to the T. I don't want to post a picture of him all dead so, Here's a lil vid of Grant freshly planted in a cedar box we made him taken after his first watering. Blessings lil dude! Stand Tall Up There!! GREAT Quality, Majestic In Everyway, Dark green foliage fresh out the package. This is not a bad review just a heads up on my experience.

I have two of these trees and a number of clones. If anything happens to them I will for sure order more!

Very healthy baby tree. Much thanks.
