While standard Giant Sequoias are known for their towering heights and rich green needles, ‘Vida Magical Mystery’ adds a new dimension to this ancient species. Its vibrant yellow foliage creates a luminous presence, almost as if it’s bathed in perpetual sunlight. This unusual colouration makes it an instant focal point in any setting, from expansive country estates to more modest garden spaces.
Like its green counterparts, ‘Vida Magical Mystery’ is a slow-growing tree, which allows gardeners to enjoy its unique beauty for many years before it reaches substantial heights. This slower growth rate also makes it more manageable in smaller landscapes, at least in its early years.
The tree maintains the classic conical shape associated with Giant Redwoods, but its golden needles give it a softer, more ethereal appearance. The foliage colour may vary slightly with the seasons, potentially intensifying in the cooler months and offering a changing display throughout the year.
As a cultivar of one of the world’s most iconic trees, ‘Vida Magical Mystery’ carries with it the awe-inspiring legacy of the Giant Sequoias. It’s a living link to prehistoric times, adapted for modern gardens. This makes it not just a beautiful addition to a landscape, but a conversation piece with a rich story to tell.
In UK gardens, this tree offers a splash of warmth and light, particularly valuable during overcast days. Its unusual colouration can brighten shady areas and create striking contrasts when planted near dark green conifers or against red brick buildings.
While it may not reach the monumental sizes of its wild relatives, ‘Vida Magical Mystery’ still requires careful placement to accommodate its eventual growth. It’s an investment in the future of your garden, potentially becoming a cherished landmark for generations to come.
Hardy in all of the UK (-20C to -15C).
Will reach around 3m x 1m in approx 10 years.
