- This is the third year in the ground for my baby giant sequoia tree. So far, it's healthy and did fine through a very cold winter (and it also gets hot, humid summers).

That is beautiful!
Pretty cool. I wish I can live long enough to see my tree in 1000 years lol.
That would be nice. 😊
Good Luck little big guy!
Beautifull! I grow them to from seed. I love them.
after the 3rd year is when trees that are transplanted start to grow faster, supposedly, 1st few year the trees just grow roots mostly
That’s mostly been my experience. After a few years, baby trees I plant usually take off and grow more quickly.
can confirm. mine is pretty much exactly 10 years old now and already 23 feet in height.
It's sad i didn't inform myself sooner.
Those trees need to be planted in a forest, where they belong. This unnaturally fast growth makes the wood lose all it's good qualities. The lumber is trash and the tree is not as resistant to disease and failure.
If you ever get up into Michigan, you can see 4 Giant Sequoias growing. Just north of Manistee.
Nice. If it can grow there it should grow here as far as the cold winters go. I think my biggest issue here is the heavy clay soil which can stay too wet, too long.
I think the biggest thing that kills them east of the rockies is so sort of root rot fungi
Thank you for your video! In what state do you live and how cold are the winters?
Near southern Ohio. The winters vary from very cold (occasional low temp of -10 F) to a bit warmer (0 to 10 F). From my experience, it seems like the cold is not the problem. I think the soil and how well it drains is the bigger problem. The giant redwood (I think) doesn't like to have wet roots for a long time. The soil I have is heavy clay and it can stay very moist to a bit too wet in the Spring months.
What fertilizer did you use thanks
So far I haven’t used any but I suppose it would like acidic type fertilizer like most evergreens. For example ‘Miracid’ from Scott’s.
Sounds good but I think the tree needs wet, cold breezes. Humid, hot summers may not be enough. I don't know of anywhere even east of the coast where they are found at all.
We’ll see what happens. :)
You're thinking of Coast Redwoods, not Giant Sequoias. Coast Redwoods love humidity, giant sequoias are from a more arid places that are further inland and up in the Sierra Nevadas. Coast redwoods can't tolerate temperatures below 32 degrees for long. Giant sequoias can.
Update video in November? :-)
I posted an update a few days ago: ruclips.net/video/wQezV45x6Fs/видео.htmlsi=-481Gs0Iz0hmE5Rf
@@ThePhotographyHobbyist Perfect ! Maybe it can also be added to your giant sequoia playlist?
@@howtogrowdragonfruitplant7849 yep. I forgot.
@@ThePhotographyHobbyist okido :-)
What part of the country did u plant it?
Southwestern Ohio area. The soil is probably not the best for this tree (heavy clay). I think it would do better in soil that drains more freely.
@@ThePhotographyHobbyist thx for the reply, i live deepest south texas hopefully mine will adapt and grow, about to receive them today
Ah. The heat is what I'd be wondering about down there as far as how well this tree would do. It doesn't seem to mind sub-zero temps (it's dipped to -5 or so a few times since I've had it planted and it handled it OK). Where they grow natively in the Sierras it's more dry, well draining soil and cooler. It gets hot and humid here though every summer...mid 90s often and high humidity. @@Jccgrg

What State or region?
Cincinnati OH area. Northern edge of USDA zone 6.
