the only way to save trees I found is to replant them immediately into a bigger pot, put outside, use rain water , don´t overwater or don´t over fertilise, put away from other pines and especially away from shadows. But what works best is to plant them directly in the soil in your garden till they regenerate. I learned that nothing absolutely nothing can compare to the regular garden soil... it is the perfect mix and conditions for every plant. laso the humidity is exactly what the plants need and it´s really hard to achieve in a pot no matter how much on tries. I had trees in pots and in the soil I can tell you that the ones in pots grew like 10cm and had lots of problem but the ones in soild are now 1m tall! And they look super healthy.

@@joesgardeningworld8669 thank you for the answer. I will now let them be since they are still sleeping i would say. Unfortunately i can only hold them in a pot. You said in the video that pots are ok to just let them live but they wont grow. In about 5 years i plan to own my property so i hope they survive for that long. Tank you and would really like to see more videos about this or some other topics

I tend to not damage the roots of some of these trees ... I have only a few sequia trees but they all made it and are now like 1m tall so it´s all good .. in the next phase I planted them in a really big containers.. initially I had space problems and not enough pots so they were really tight in those already I know :/ btw thanks for the tip

Hi, how big is it and is it planted in the soil directly or is it in a pot? Where do you live? I noticed that after replanting my trees directly to the soild their growing speed increaed 10x and they are nice and greenish, very healthy. To compare 2 trees i left in the pot same age are now 40cm the ones directly in soil are almost 1m tall! I planted them in the soil last year and sinca that they grew like 60cm while the one in the pot grew maybe 5cm ... the dfifference is very significant and I assume it´s because of the humidity balance between soil in the ground and pot soil which tends to dry out a lot faster or is too wet on other days never ideal. BUT I planted 2 small trees in very big pots and they are comparably strong to the ones in directly in the soil. So my advice is to replant them eithr directly in the garden or replant them in way bigger pots. I had to get some supr big pots each is like 50cm. The ones sufferin have maybe 22cm pots. Watering is difficult but I guess the size of the pot, the space for the roots and more balanced humidity has a bigger effect. Also these trees don´t repson good to over fertilizing. I only use rain water for them or rain itself. I will have to replant them next year becasue I am afraid they will stay there forever if I don´t. The plants also don´t like to be in small pots in the winter becasue the hate cold on the roots and one surprising fact move them away from regular pines, I noticed some nasty funghi has been killing my little trees that is found only when they are near my pines. So my current location is very sunny and has lot´s of fresh wind. Seeems the trees love the new location.

We have two sequoia's also in a botanical garden in Lund, Sweden one is really big, perhaps 30-35m but it will never be as big as in California...

How'd you get your hands on a Sherman seed?

@@WilhelmWilder I found a cone under the tree…

So at least 50% chance that it's from the Sherman as theyre so big

I would give them the biggest pot available if I had those =) it´s deffinitely the way to go! I only have 1 of them in a big one fro mthe start and it´s catching up with the one growing freely. The bigger the pot the faster and bigger roots. So YES! :)

@@joesgardeningworld8669 BTW I have a question , after I replant trees to different pots I see that the tree dies off a little to then do very well in its container but I don't know why? is it because its not used to the different conditions? (edit :the sequoia for example turned purple a little on the stem and one branch partially died and then recovered and the redwoods new budding leaves turned brown but then regrew plentiful.)

:D

Wow great that you had the chance to come here. The place with most Sequoia trees in SLovakia will probably be the park within a University inside the city of Banska Stiavnica. That place around 20 trees within the city like literally next to the city center. =) It´s better to grow them from the seed and way easier. I was not really successfull with growing them from cuttings.

@@joesgardeningworld8669 thanks again, o remember I went both Banska Stiavnica and Bistrika, so it was there where I saw them, great contry great People and very good pivos 😊

I have been to a park in Slovakia last weekend that has around 10 big ones and I must say once you see it live you love it even more .. the trees are amazing and the soft body on touch its also quite unique. Amazing big trees .. simpyl stunning. So happy to have a few small ones now at home :D

@@joesgardeningworld8669 True!

where is that park? @@joesgardeningworld8669

thanks for the comments also praise under the cuttings video.. I will surely add more videos once I can start working on the plants and stupid winter is over .. :)))

I am curious about why it is not a good idea to graft trees that are meant to grow really tall. I live in the Coastal Redwoods (California) and I would like to propagate more of them. Can you tell me why grafting is a bad idea? Thank you.

@@B30pt87 grafts on a tree trunk will always be a weak spot.Tall trees that fall in a storm can do bad damage and knowing a 100-200 foot tree was being held by a graft union would make me worried if close to property.

@@matshagstrom9839 Ah, I see what you mean. I have a Sempervirens about 70 feet from my house that's over 200 feet tall. It is one of four that grew in a fairy ring around the stump of their mother. It sways in the wind pretty dramatically compared to the other three, and you're right- if i knew that any part of it was grafted I would be moving my house. Thank you for answering.

I guess I should I grown over 200 trees already and sold 90% away to becoem a bonssai :) I have a very very simple way to grow these I will make a video soon as I plan to plant new seedlings just now in the next days while it´s freezing.

ok after 2 years I can clearly say growing directly in the garden form SEEDS is the easiest way to go and this is also how I got my trees growing that you see in the video. THe cuttings from what I learned as some peopel succeeded you get a 15cm tree "maybe" after several months of struggling where a seed you basically plant NOW in jan/feb outside and within 6 months you have a strong growing seedling. They arefast growers in one year they will grow as big as the cutting so my reccomendation is to go for SEEDS and I am also doing it + they are cheap and getting sequoia cutting is also a big question .. where??.. :D :)

@@joesgardeningworld8669 I'm looking to grow eventually about a hundred trees in the state of Oregon, quite a bit to the north of where they naturally grow in California, but nevertheless there are many of them used as decorative trees around my town. Last year I collected trash bags full of green cones, dried out the cones, and harvested the seeds. Then I stratified them but I don't know if I have enough room in my fridge. I got quite a few seedlings but I had l some big unexpected events in my life and couldn't keep watering them during the really dry summer here, so they all died. Hoping for more success this year. I know I'm late to start, but I'll be gathering cones this week. Do you have a method for drying out the cones or opening them?

@@johnsmiff8328 I don´t stratifyanymore in the fridge I plant them out directly while there is still frost so NOW in Jan and Feb the best time to plant them. They will naturally stratify and the growth rate is even better. The cones naturally open when there is warm and sunlight so my method is using or creating the same conditions but with a practical touch: put them in some open cardboard box and put above some heater. They will start opening very quickly and the most loose seeds will fall out naturally. Once fully opened (you will know) take them in some palstic box or jar and shake them heavily till there are no more seeds falling out. Easy =) as said above plant some directly outside can be in a raised bed that you can put a foil above or some sun blocker later on. Firstly to keep them humid secondly to prevent them from drying out too quick in summer. I would put a plastic foil above the bed keeping some 10cm space when the temperature start warming up to keep warmth and mopisture so you have maximum seeds sprouting. Planting them just 1-2cm deep (1 inch). Watering if dry do not let it dry out or no seed will sprout. Good luck :) I wish I have some more trees around but sadly there arejust few and even those are 1-2 hours drive away with few cones if any at all.

@@joesgardeningworld8669 Do you have somewhere I can email you? Also it wouldn't be an inconvenience for me to mail you some seeds for answering questions. We also have metasequoias and even some coastal redwoods in town if you're interested in those. I don't think the ground here gets enough frost in the winter to stratify them, it's already 10°C every day here, but I can certainly try. I may actually consider using my oven to dry out the cones if I have too many for the heater.

@@johnsmiff8328 I would not use oven becasue maybe that could be easily too much even if you try to set it on 30 celsius. Well we have -5 degrees now :) wow that would be great if you have also metasequoia seeds been looking for some I have 1 tree in the garden but it´s really small. my email is: skifi.space@gmail.com or my whatsapp: +421915709534

good point actually I am thinking about it ;) .. BUT after more investigating there are people who got successful with that method just waited longer and took cuttings in a different time.

yes they have no problems withstanding around -20°C since 1 year seedlings I only grow them outside. I am in Slovakia and most of the years is cold/wet. They are actually prone to die in the spring when the weather is like undecided - not enough sunligh, cold and wet windy weather. They don´t like that.

I already sold all except 10 from which 1 I keep as a bonsai and the rest I just want to grow bigger before I sell them. I have no space to plant them so I only grow them to sell them.

actually I had around a 100 seedlings which I sold off and I have like 10 remaining trees one is really big now after 3 years it´s nearly 50 cm big and doing great. So cuttings died but my seedlings do good. The key to make they survive is to make them sprout outside I guess. I planted them in february in the soil covered by a foil to keep it humid and sprouting was really easy also they were resistant. My first seedlings sprouted inside died also once I moved them out.

for plants I do holes but here I didn´t no need. However I didn´t need to water for very long time like .. months as I kept it all in a sealed big plastic bag. It´s waya easier to grow them from seed. I also didn´t get any from this experiment in the end. But I have seedlings from seeds that are not 50 cm (2 feet) big

a very nic saying I think I copy that :) ... I have planted a few trees like that .. they will be greatest long after I am gone ..

I mentioned it somewhere around that they are not for my garden but for a bonsai .. ofc this tree can grow 10x the size of our house .. no way it´s going to grow anywhere near houses. I was thinking to plant some in the forest ;)

In Slovakia this tree can withstand -25°C (-13 f) no problem my little seedlings survived first winter outside in pots and that was -18°C ;) .. this tree in the wild can take -30°C so no need to worry about a little cold ;)

@@joesgardeningworld8669 The seedlings have to first get used to the extreme cold to outstand it and survive it

Hi it didn´t work. I have not made a video with the result but it simply did not work. The cutting survived like 4 months but non of them released roots. I have some info that it needs to be done in a specific time of the year. But I have no access to new cuttings however I have my own seedlings growing :)

Well Red, what is the successful approach! Do you have a link? Any concerns about lack of tap root and any long term stability issues for a large mature tree?

@@bensolnick3103 let me find the link real quick and I'll edit this comment Edit: I'm going to post 2 links 1 is from early on in his experiment so you see what it looked like then. His channel is mostly about classic rock but every few months he does an update. Go to 4 minutes or so for his Sequoia cuttings for first clip here's link ruclips.net/video/W2Z9aunuK9M/видео.html And #2 link is most recent update with several new cuttings off his first cutting. He explains a lot more about what he did in this video. So this one will give you far more information. Hope this helps ruclips.net/video/RT7MM4oAYlc/видео.html

Hi In Slovakia this tree is let´s say RARE and only grows as a sole tree so it means there is no support against winds and storms. All the trees have broken tops or are hit by lightning. We are also a heavy storm area with strong winds. We had a pine that was like 20m tall next to the house and it had to go down. Sequoia can grow 80m so this is the reason I can´t plant them in any close proximity to houses. I keep all my trees in pots as bonsai or think I will plant a few in the forest near by.

The other person I've seen do a cutting took his in the summer but he also said he didn't feel like it mattered. He also used a different strategy. He kept his cutting in water with rooting aid. It was a 2 year experiment.

@@RedDragon91 Thanks. I've got a feeling that when the tree is dormant might be the best time I've hardwood cuttings.

@@manxman5825 if you want to check out his cuttings his channel is Jeffrey rusnock. You will have to scroll down thru his music uploads about classic rock bands. He does updates about his clippings every so often but he has successfully done it and is the only person I've found that has.

@@manxman5825 ruclips.net/video/RT7MM4oAYlc/видео.html there's a link to his last update to make it easier for you

@@RedDragon91 thanks for the links I will also do the second trial , I learned that the trick is to take the cuttings in the right time.

every tree can pose a danger when you are under it in windy stormy weather .. :) but these are mostly meant to be bonsai so unless you drop the pot on your head it should be fine :D

so cut all trees down and just have grass

these are not to be planted in any near house proximity ... that´s clear this can grow 80m the biggest tree in the area is a 20m pine and it´s already extreme so yes it´s deffinitely too big
