I've often wondered if I found a good, sheltered place, if I could
grow it outside. I got the seedling in Amador County, CA some years
ago. Yup have the advantage of a milder climate down there. How big is
the sequoia?


About a ten year old tree that was purchased as a 5 foot tree. It
grew to about 10 foot before the main leader died and it is now about 7
foot. Grows slow. ad a another one that was varagated but it died in
3 years. This growing in the back of the garden with just a bucket of
water when I think of it.

Indeed - very slow-growing. I will be able to keep it potted for a
long, long time.
