California Coast Redwood Giant Tree Seeds (Sequoia sempervirens)

These ancient giants are descendants of a prehistoric lineage dating back to the age of dinosaurs and can live for 500–2,000 years, making them some of the longest-lived organisms on the planet.
Fast-growing for their size, redwoods can average 50 feet of growth in the first 20 years in the wild. Their towering presence, extensive root systems, and dramatic vertical form make them an exceptional choice for collectors, bonsai enthusiasts, or anyone looking to cultivate a true living legend.

Coast Redwood Germination:
"Redwood Seeds are Notoriously Well Known for Very Low Germination Rates, so Plant More than you will Need."
1) With a germination rate of only appx 20%, Germination speed can be increased by soaking for 24 hours in distilled water.
2) Plant at least 20 seeds 1/8 deep or less in the same spot inside a shallow container using clean potting soil. Plant shallow as the seeds need light in order to germinate.
3) Cover with plastic to keep moist & in a cool area with "indirect" light. No sun at first as they must Not become dry during germination.
4) As soon as the tree is a few inches tall, it can be moved into a larger container.

Germinación de la secuoya roja:
"Las semillas de secuoya roja son conocidas por tener tasas de germinación muy bajas, por lo que se debe plantar más de las que se necesitan".
1) Con una tasa de germinación de solo aproximadamente el 20 %, la velocidad de germinación se puede aumentar si se remoja durante 24 horas en agua destilada.
2) Plante al menos 20 semillas a 1/8 de profundidad o menos en el mismo lugar dentro de un recipiente poco profundo con tierra para macetas limpia. Plante a poca profundidad ya que las semillas necesitan luz para germinar.
3) Cubra con plástico para mantener la humedad y colóquelas en un área fresca con luz "indirecta". Al principio, no les dé sol ya que no deben secarse durante la germinación.
4) Tan pronto como el árbol tenga unos centímetros de alto, se puede trasladar a un recipiente más grande.
