Beautiful! I am watching this tonight from my house, eight miles away from Yosemite National Park. I'm thrilled to see these trees thriving in Holland! My main feeling is gratitude. Thank you so much for caring for them and giving them a proper home. May they bring joy to you and your children, and your grandchildren, and your great grandchildren, and...
Like so many others in the comments, I’ve also been anxiously waiting for an update. And 5:14 holy cow! That Sequoia grew like 50% larger in like a year and a half. Not to surprising though, the older they get the faster they grow. Boy this is exciting!
I have been following this series for 8 years and I have to say I love it. Thank you, one day I will have my own video series with my pitch pines that I have been growing.
Grew several giant sequoia seedlings in the late '90s. I'm a retired former municipal Forester. I grew these trees that survived 25 degrees below zero winter temperatures in the state of Illinois. They were 3 feet tall when I donated them to an exotic nursery for reproduction and introduction into the trade. Unfortunately they misplaced them and lost them during a greenhouse transfer. Hence,my interest.
Please name them after their caretaker. These will grow up one day to be the largest trees of europe and will visited by thousands. All their history and videos in a link with QR code next to a board near trees. what an exciting project. Amazing hardwork and care and dedication by the grower!
*YES SIR MARTIN* 😁😁 aka the giant sequoia legend I love what your doing with these Redwoods absolutely inspiring straight up inspiring thank you ! And bless you sir!
In their natural habitat of the Sierra Nevada mountains in California they ground will be covered with several feet of snow during the winter. (sadly, one of the reasons the forest is so stressed is the long term drought is weakening the trees).
I have about 30 beautiful two-year-old sequoia dendrons and a dozen redwood one-year-olds at home. But the climate outside the window is bad - Siberia. I am looking for where to introduce them. There are a couple of places, but for this I need to change my place of residence or buy a plot of land - I am choosing now. There are several locations. The cheapest and with a similar climate in the Valdai Plain. True, there are no mountains there, but your experience in Holland is encouraging.
great to see you upload again! Your channel inspired me to get 21 giant sequoia saplings of my own. :) I've had them for nearly a year now, along with one i sprouted from a seed. i also bought a pack of 50 seeds and around 30 sprouted but birds ate them all, luckily i still have 22 alive at the moment. :)
I would like people to learn from this example, to set themselves tasks with an event horizon of hundreds ... thousands of years, and for this to transfer their plans to fulfill the new generations of their children! It is especially important to teach this to our children.
Another year, another update: the first 15 years of two giant sequoias; At the end the introduction of the little nephew, donated to the ancient Duivenvoorde castle. ruclips.net/video/DB3euAKWLpk/видео.html
Make sure you plant them in a deep clay soil that is also well draining on a slight decline. That’s the best way to make sure they grow strong and healthy.
@@Waterdiver3900 i took it for around 3 weeks in the refrigerator, then i think it took about 2/3 weeks for them to start sprouting, had 8 out of 20, but they are really weak, so pay close attention, i got 2 still alive rn😁
@@martinvn123 I think sequoias trees are very rare in India actually here banian trees the common biggest trees, I guess 3 -4 years back I see your video and also some other videos about sequoias, your video is one of a kind growth video that I never seen before Thank you for sharing.
I found out the reason they grow so much and theirs a lot of them in California is apparently because wildfires are a part of their ecosystem the fires burn low and with their fire resistant barks are able to withstand anything and with the heat that fire produces the sequoias cones open up releasing hundreds of seeds and wind spreads them around the forest so they start to Germanate with fresh soil and when fall, winter and, spring come along they get plenty of snow and rain and the process restarts during the summer. I thought I would share what I learned about these trees yesterday from a park ranger
Hi Martin I live in a cold climate and we have pretty freezing winters. I tried two trees last year and the pots froze. How did you protect your pots from freezing in winter?
The problem is not the freezing. It also freezes in the Sierra Nevada. The problem is that the roots in the pot are no longer getting water because the ground is frozen and there is no water in the pot. They then dry out. Maybe you can put them in a shed or something like that when it starts to freeze?
Incredible, how location makes a difference. I grew one in my garden in austria. It's 6 years old and almost 5 meters in height. Gotta say, that I'd prefer the slower growth that your climate demands, since mine might become a problem for its area in a few years
You should always be careful where you plant them. If you're planting them in your own yard, you may need to coordinate that with the neighbors (and sometimes even with the neighbor's neighbors.)
My 4 3 year old sequoias is doing pretty bad. We had cold winter i burried them in the snow. We had -27C and branch endings have visible frost damage. I hope they will survive. I took them inside my house because cold drying winds are aproaching and there is frost outside without snow. So end of winter for them. Greetings froma Latvia ! I also trie to grow some sequoias 😉Best wishes for your two successful ones!
I hope your trees has survived the winter. They must be able to withstand the cold. The same temperatures occur in their natural environment in the Sierra Nevada. The problem may be that the ground is so frozen that they cannot absorb water and then dry out.
For a year I have been looking for companions in Russia and in the world to jointly buy a plot of land in the Caucasus in an amazing place that I have found for breeding and introducing rare trees ... but ... to no avail. Crowdfunding doesn't work in my case either.
@@Otto-cz6by i think that the netherlands will probably flood before that happens lol. giant sequoias grow super quick but their canopies dont get super wide really.
@@BigCroca they don't get too wide, but it's still too close, and authorities may cut it down in case it falls over on to the power lines. You generally don't see large trees near power lines, they are always kept at a certain distance, only small trees are kept close. Also, it may hamper maintenance. Though the picture seems a bit confusing, in one picture it looks close, and in the other it looks far, so I'm not sure.
They should. According to martinvn123 the weather where he lives is very similar to where the Sequia’s natively grow in the US. They should be just fine.
@@martinvn123 volledig mee eens. overigens wat een vreugde om te zien. ik blijf toch steeds terugkomen voor deze video. later tijd om wat stekjes te maken voor de kijkers? hoe meer hoe beter;)
No it is a tree, not a corona infection. The trees mainly grow longitudinally in the first years. From the fifth year on they grow on average about 80 centimeters per year and they grow about 1 to 2 centimeters in width per year. When they are about forty or fifty years old, they grow a little more in the latitude - they're like people. The growth in length continues in the meantime, but at a slightly slower pace.

Yes finally another update 😁
You're welcome
I believe growing a tree is among the most beautiful things a man can do, I aspire to do this you are doing in the near future!
sure if you can find land that wont be developed for 100 years
Love these vids, I swear I’ll be watching these updates in 10 years time!
Why not in 100 years time?

I’m really happy you keep doing an update every year
You're welcome

I enjoy watching his videos. They are widely spaced treats
So cool!!! Crazy to think those trees could be there for the next 2-3 thousand years!!!
I have been following this series for 8 years and I have to say I love it. Thank you, one day I will have my own video series with my pitch pines that I have been growing.
I think they will grow faster.
I look forward to these updates! Thank you
you sir, have done wonders to soothe my autism, I raise my glass to you!
A thick tree begins as a tender twig, a journey with one step
Man if only I could live so long to keep seeing it grow.

This is the most amazing thing ever!
Loved the video!! They're getting so big already... I'm so excited to see them get bigger!! :)
The older they get, the fewer photos I can place in the video per year. Johan Cruijff once said: every advantage has its disadvantage
Thanks for sharing their progress. I appreciate your dedication.
FANTASTIC! They are so beatuful! Thanks for condivision
You're welcome
Amazing!!! I've been watching you for 4 years now!!
Nice! It's got a thick trunk now, and its almost taller than the other trees. Once it gets past, it should grow faster.
We are still a bit behind, but in the long run we will win it big
@@martinvn123 nice. Btw, I wanted to ask, why did you choose to plant it on some public land instead of your own backyard?
@@martinvn123 4:46 That photo has a lot of stumps. That worries me a little.
@@Otto-cz6by Most likely it was needed to bring in the sunlight for the Sequoia.
I bought a redwood because of you and these videos! Thanks for the inspiration!
Got six baby ones in my living room right now :) they are about 3 months old now and hopefully will grow big like yours one day
Good work!
Please name them after their caretaker. These will grow up one day to be the largest trees of europe and will visited by thousands. All their history and videos in a link with QR code next to a board near trees.
what an exciting project. Amazing hardwork and care and dedication by the grower!
Brilliant stuff. The trees and their planter keep getting more beautiful!
Specially the planter!
*YES SIR MARTIN* 😁😁 aka the giant sequoia legend I love what your doing with these Redwoods absolutely inspiring straight up inspiring thank you ! And bless you sir!
I will try to plant giant sequoia in the spring tooo.
Love how your sequoias look in winter, so funny,
it looks like they don't like winter very much
We’re you able to plant one?

But it is also possible that the seeds got into the soil and have not germinated.
@@LearningZoneLanguages what do you mean
22 pieces out of 50 is a very good ratio. Much better than me. Only two came to my mind. Hope your trees are doing well.
@@martinvn123 yeah they're still doing pretty good, sold some since i dont have room for so many tho
My sequoias are almost 5 years old! Michigan, USA
Good luck keep up the good work 🌲

Hehe, love it, I'm from the Netherlands aswel, and just bought some seeds aswel, so hopefully mine will grow as good as yours😁
Go for it Brandi, go for it!

5:15 WOOOOOOOW!
Glad to see our state tree growing in other places.
Good job.

5 m within 6 years is incredible, how is your soil properties please give some details...
Glad for the update but did you plant it near the power lines? They’ll just cut it down once it grows another 20yrs
I hope those power lines don't have to be cut down to make room for the trees.
Work in service of planet earth!
❤️🌎🌍🌏
Please update us when the sequoia destroys the power line it was planted under.
GoTrees Go!
Waar heb je de zaden gehaald??..
Awesome! :)
Good show sir, thx for updates!!
I think the 2121 year should be changed to 3121 tho! Bet you’ll still be around taking pics!
Going to be a long video
Don't underestimate these two trees
@@oystein18 But they will also become big trees!
@@martinvn123 Bet they will grow lots this year :)
I've been waiting!
Patience will be rewarded
I think if you’d put them in the ground a little earlier they’d be even bigger now
A better legacy to leave behind than children.
Subscribed, just for more updates!
damn those power lines looks to be close, hopefully they dont cut those down
Are you selling seedlings?
No, I bought the seeds in Sequoia NP during a holidays.
good job!! it is life!
Good, now you just need to wait 2,000 years and your back yard will be the talk of the neighborhood
They are no longer in our backyard but on the grounds of our municipality. A ten minute walk from us
How tall is the “big one” of the 2 sequoias as of now?
Edit: by the “big one” I mean the larger of the 2 sequoias
It would take like 300 years for that to be full size
My 4 3 year old sequoias is doing pretty bad. We had cold winter i burried them in the snow. We had -27C and branch endings have visible frost damage. I hope they will survive.

Had you stuck it in the ground it would be taller that the house by then
That's completely right

I hope it won't touch the cables.
I’m afraid the one under the power pole will have to go sooner or later :(
it doesn't look like it's actually under the power line, just near it. :)
@@BigCroca I'm afraid that both trees are near the power line....the bigger one is farther, but it will still have to go eventually.....

They should. According to martinvn123 the weather where he lives is very similar to where the Sequia’s natively grow in the US. They should be just fine.
hope they dont build Condos and cut them down 👍
Let’s see how big I get too see it grow before I die lol
