I’m planting 3 of them next month on my land. It’s great that you remeasure the tree each year and have found that it is still growing at a rate of one foot a year👍
@@universeslap I watched several videos of very large ones growing in different Places in Europe and a couple videos of people that planted them within the last 10 years. Anyways it showed me that it can be done so I’ve just been waiting for spring lol
There are only approximately 80,000 giant sequoias left in their nato range habitat native, in the United Kingdom we have approximately 400,000 giant sequoias planted here. I plan to make that 400,002 Giants Sequoias quite soon. I see it as a backup population for the native population up in the hills of California.
That would be a nice addition for the UK. There should be a couple million planted in the USA outside the native range, but I don't think anyone is completing a full inventory. I passed about 250 of them the other day between home and a residence I was pruning at about 25 minutes from here. I think the UK climate is similar to parts of Oregon here.
In the mid 1800’s it was a huge status symbol to have them on your Country Estate… England has Hundreds that are 150+ years old… they need the misty-fog in the morning for the top of the trees to soak up the water… that’s how they grow so tall…
Tree seems to enjoy it's adoption into its present location away from others of its kind ... its thriving well ... thank you for sharing ... the giant trees are so majestic ... enjoy it while you can ...
Phenomenal! How do you think these would go in a subtropical climate? I live near Brisbane, Australia, and I have 3 (so far) Coast Redwoods going great, but they are much more suited to my climate than the Giants. We get around 36in of rain annually, the majority of which is in summer, with highs around 80-90F in summer and lows hovering around freezing in winter, with usually only a handful of hard frosts. I have a few acres and I'm creating a forest near a creek, to trap moisture and keep summer temps down in that area. I have English and Pin Oaks, Swamp Cypress, Maple, and a few Coast Redwoods so far. I really want to add some Giant Redwoods but I feel our summers are too warm and humid (think far SE USA). There are some growing only 20 minutes away from me, but they are 1,500ft higher up than where I am with cooler temps and higher rain year round!
I can't find the answer for that question but if there's an arboretum in Brisbane good chance they could answer that question for you. Especially if they have one growing in the collection.
I lived outside of Eagle Point years ago, off Hwy 234, and remember someone talking about a huge redwood somewhere nearby, but "one of the mountain redwoods, not the ones along the coast." I wonder if they were talking about this tree? Fascinating!
It's possible. The trunk or top are in a place where several people could have glanced at it over the years, especially someone who may recognize the foliage and cones.
Great! - look for young seedlings/saplings in the area and maybe plant more of them around it. We have about 50 Giant Sequoias in the town of Mount Shasta here - many planted a hundred or more years ago that are huge and have engendered numerous young G. Sequoias as well.
Thanks, I will watch. My brother lives near Castle Craggs, and sometime when I drive that way, maybe I will take a glance at the Mount Shasta town area trees you mention.
@@TallTreesClub Giant ones (8-10' dia.) are on Alma St going towards the mountain and more giant ones next to the Forest Service Hdqtrs corner on Pine St. as well as across the street from those in an alley - and of course many more around town.
glad some people thought to plant these trees outside of their native range 100 years ago, it has a bunch of cones up top , you see any saplings below?
Drones are not legal to operate in the Redwood National Park. Although, I understand if a unit is operated from outside the park as the drone itself hovers over the park, there is a loophole to work with.
I looked for seedlings but haven't seen any yet. But we plan to keep looking every few years. There's not herbicide use, so if anything does germinate and grow, it should continue.
DBH diameter equals diameter averaged. So the circumference divided by 3.14 is how that's calculated. DBH is the standard common for many tree registries and urban inventory lists.
Should work .. I recall enabling embedding so others can share, and I plan to leave this posted for a long time. Measured again yesterday to be 100% certain, using two lasers. And confirmed 212.1 feet or 64.64 meters .. elevation is 2600 feet.
no the Sierra Nevada's where the Sequoias are, while the northern part of the sierra nevada range does border the cacade range like near Lassen Volcano, in eastern central California where sequoias are, are like about 350 miles to the south of oregon in eastern california, I think sequoia used to be all over nevada and out to colorado but their range has been shrinking for thousands of years
It's been growing about 1 foot per year the past few years. I didn't measure it last summer or autumn but hope to before the month of May to record last years growth increment also.
they seem to do well where coast redwoods grow I have seen other big ones in Oregon also or maybe its just Oregon, like some videos say that they cant grow in the same conditions because sequoias like low humidity , but just like most of the internet, most of its garbage they just repeat stuff they heard or read, wow I am doing the same thing nevermind
I live on the eastern slope of the Oregon coast range and there are very large planted sequoias. It's wet and humid all year. I have read they won't produce cones if the conditions are not right, but like you said, it is the internet.
Coastal redwoods seem to be more picky about humidity levels than Giant redwoods. Both grow well here in my yard 50 miles North of Seattle ( and all over this area). Looking out my window now at Sequoia ‘ Blue Steel’ and Sequoiadendron ‘Hazel Smith’. Beautiful trees
@@timmillan6701 yeah I have been growing them in maryland since 2005 they are about 20 feet tall and seem to be adapting better each year from freezing temperatures in the winter, I planted them near Tulip Poplars because I think they are similar trees in that lhey love water but dont like wet feet, sorta like a bottomland area with a low water table but still dry usually
@timmillan6701 How do you think they'd go in a subtropical climate? I always assumed Coast Redwoods were much more adapted to high humidity, which is why I chose them to plant on my property in a warmer part of Australia. Our climate in this part is similar to SE US with warm rainy summers and cooler dryer winters with the odd hard frost. I've seen plenty of Giant Redwoods in Australia but all of them were in much cooler climates than mine, and with more stable rain patterns.
This tree likes it and isn't lonely for others of its kind. Thanks for sharing this tree with us. I know it is possible to plant non indigenous and I think we call them invasive species. So what! We live in semperviron country & enjoy their beautiful presence. They sell delicious & lots of birds nest in them.
Mario , that tree looks dry and in need of water . I looked up the drought monitor for 2021 and the West Coast is in an exceptional drought . Why haven't people out west realized they need to start seeding clouds , importing water, digging wells or installing drip irrigation. The forest is invaluable and drastic measures need to be taken to preserve THE MOST MAGNIFICENT trees on the planet. The National park service is considering drip irrigation for General Sherman because it is a tourist attraction and brings in money but that is not enough . All trees need water ! At this rate the forest will be gone in the next 40 years like a giant tinder box unless people realize they caused climate change and need to step up irrigation.
Sounds like you are unfamiliar with the area near that tree, which averages about 20 inches yearly rainfall, yet it produced the world's tallest planted Sequoiadendron in maybe 50 years less than what used to be thought tallest planted before. The area is "drier" for the more part. As for Sherman and drip irrigation -- irrigation often produces more shallow rooting and can backfire if the application rate is done wrong.
@@TallTreesClub Without knowing its actual location I was only referencing the drought map showing extreme drought in southern Oregon. What do you suggest as a viable solution to the extreme drought going forward?

Plant more in your area so they can spread and increase their range!
There is one in the New Forest in southern England that was planted during the reign of Queen Victoria.
Film it please.
Yes I’d love to see it
beautiful! my redwood seeds are in the mail, going to plant them here in Croatia
I was surprised to find one in France at one of the château in the louré valley.

Magnificent tree. Truly incredible specimen. I just love Sequoias.
Love the giant sequoias i have five of them. So far.
Our yard is mostly planted and designed already, but there's space for a weeping Sequoidendron.

look at those cones! very healthy tree
Spectacular! Thanks!
Good Morning...what a breath of fresh air your video is! Thank you for sharing...love to you
I have a few of them in pots but have yet to see one like that, wish I could.
Friggin huge for a planted tree!! Great if Mario!
Mario, Keep up the great work!!!
mario, how about doing this with some of the tall coastal redwoods?
Drones are not legal to operate in the Redwood National Park. Although, I understand if a unit is operated from outside the park as the drone itself hovers over the park, there is a loophole to work with.
Theres one in central Georgia, but it’s not nearly as big. I think it’s only about a 100yrs old also.
Interesting Videos especially this one. Incredible tree!!!
Beautiful form; nice find!
Nice! I am growing some i Europa too !
very nice specimen indeed.
I thought this was going to be the one in England they planted in the 1800s that is now the tallest tree in the UK.
There were many planted back then, I have two great ones within 5mins walk and they're awesome to look at!
If I had the land with that tree I would make the best treehouse ever, like a mini elvish Tower.
that is one beautiful tree thanks so much for sharing!!!
Your are welcome. Two more months, and I'm curious to measure it again. The scenery is pretty near there too.
@@TallTreesClub thats awesome dream of seeing, planting, and just learning about as many trees as I can! excited to see your update!
Parts of Southern Oregon are indeed native range for Sequoiadendron and the range is currently moving north through Oregon!
Does this tree produce seedlings? We've got some sequoias on the Oregon State University campus in Corvallis, but they don't produce seedlings here.
I looked for seedlings but haven't seen any yet. But we plan to keep looking every few years. There's not herbicide use, so if anything does germinate and grow, it should continue.
How do you know its diameter, surely, you can only measure its circumference?
DBH diameter equals diameter averaged. So the circumference divided by 3.14 is how that's calculated. DBH is the standard common for many tree registries and urban inventory lists.
Pre Ice Age it's possible that was in it's native range. They were all over North America.
Good point ...
Great video, we will put it on our website!

Looks like Camp Latgawa?
That's the location, evident from the cabins shown.
Wonderful, plant a few more
Great video👍 Regards from Austria
They say Keith Richards was in kindergarten when that thing was planted
Isn’t southern Oregon in their range tho?
no the Sierra Nevada's where the Sequoias are, while the northern part of the sierra nevada range does border the cacade range like near Lassen Volcano, in eastern central California where sequoias are, are like about 350 miles to the south of oregon in eastern california, I think sequoia used to be all over nevada and out to colorado but their range has been shrinking for thousands of years
Yes it is their native range
And their range is expanding more north into Oregon! You can look it up and read about it!
@@forestknowledge so it’s indigenous
@@forestknowledge oh great to know!!
Maybe it was a seed that blew further north
Wish that would happen more often !!
@@TallTreesClub haha no doubt great vid as always Sir Mario
Is this in the Coastal Range or the Cascades?
It's not in a range, but Mount McLoughlin not far to the east is in the Cascade range. So it's closer to that range than the coast range.
the pointed top means it's still kgrowing!
It's been growing about 1 foot per year the past few years. I didn't measure it last summer or autumn but hope to before the month of May to record last years growth increment also.
I’d love to climb that tree
How old is that tree?
