Sequoias


Not long after planting Ponderosa Pines at the far end of the arboretum, I planted Giant Sequoias. They have done amazingly well. Apparently, they don't mind having wet feet all winter and dry feet all summer. The arboretum, especially at the far end where the pines are, is pretty swampy six months of the year.


Johnny measured this Sequoia on 11/24/17 at 15.1" DBH
The Ponderosa Pines are taller but the Sequoias are bigger around. As of 11/24/17, the biggest Sequoia was 15.1" diameter; Redwood 10.8", Ponderosa 13.5".
