Originating from the foggy coastal regions of Northern California, Sequoia sempervirens thrives in humid and moist environments. These giants are not just trees; they are pillars of the forest, creating ecosystems within their canopies. Planting Coast Redwood seeds is an invitation to witness a marvel of nature’s resilience and beauty.

As they grow, these redwoods form a thick, spongy bark, which helps protect them from fire and insect damage. Their needle-like leaves form dense, green canopies, offering a haven for diverse wildlife. Planting these seeds is a commitment to future generations, a chance to grow a natural legacy in your own garden.

The Coast Redwood is more than a tree; it’s a living piece of history. Some specimens are over 2,000 years old, standing as silent witnesses to centuries of change. By planting Sequoia sempervirens seeds, you’re not just nurturing a tree; you’re fostering a connection with the ancient world.

Our extreme collection is from trees at the highest elevations on the ridge tops in California, USA. Usually more inland, hotter, drier, perhaps more cold tolerant as well in snowy areas.

Natural Germination: Coast Redwood seeds typically require exposure to light for germination. In their natural habitat, these seeds germinate following disturbances such as fire that create open, well-lit conditions. Plant the seeds shallowly in a location with ample sunlight, ideally in moist, well-drained soil.

Artificial Stratification: For artificial germination, soak the seeds in water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat. Optionally, place them on a moist paper towel, seal in a plastic bag, and refrigerate for about 30 days. This simulates the natural cold, moist conditions of winter, however this isn’t required. After stratification, sow the seeds on the surface of a well-draining soil mix and keep them at a temperature of 18-22°C, ensuring they receive plenty of light.
