>>I would love to plant some Giant Sequoias on our meadows. I think they should grow in Germanys climate. But how can I get some to Germany? Our biggest tree selling company doesn't have them.<< It's commendable that you will go to the trouble to start the tree for the benefit of future generations. If the tree survives you, it might be nearly your height at the time of your demise. The sequoia is a popular garden tree in England. Perhaps you can find a good source for trees there. I have seen several places which sold coastal redwoods (Sequoia semper virens) commericially, but not giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum). I believe that the coastal trees are more easily grown and grow at a faster rate. Nevertheless, here are several nurseries that have been recommended to me. I have never had occassion to use any of them, so I can't personally recommend one. I'm sorry I don't have the complete address, you'll have to call. CA Dept. of Forestry, Davis, CA (916) 753-2441 Forest Seeds of CA, Placerville, CA (916) 621-1552 Future Forest Nursery, Riverside, CA (724) 780-8946 I have record of Giant Sequoia that have been transplanted and successfully grown in Europe and Germany had several notable trees. Perhaps they were grown in climate and soil similar to your own. Good luck! Jeff Lahr Seasonal Ranger, Yosemtie National Park
