50 Tree Seeds - California Giant Redwood Sequoia (Sequoiadendron gigantea) - 50 Seeds - Winter-Hardy

I tried the 50 California Giant Redwood Sequoia seeds, and so far they’re doing well. I had a good germination rate after keeping them in the fridge on wet paper for 2 months. Everything seems healthy and sprouting nicely. I would definitely recommend these seeds.

I have purchased such seeds on several occasions and from different suppliers. Having planted something like 200 seeds and getting not a single germination, I am delighted to find a supplier with good seed stocks. In my experience, having now radically changed my approach to planting out, success is as much down to using the right medium for the seeds as it is seed viability. I have so far achieved 25% success (still rising) for my order of 50 seeds with this supplier. If your seeds fail, it is more likely down to the wrong medium (soil or other) and approach in general than unviable seeds.

I bought these a few years ago now, back in 2021, and although not all the seeds germinated, I do now have 19 baby giant sequoias growing. I didn't do anything special to make them germinate, I just put them in small pots in the garden in December and left them to it, so I can't complain too much, I still got little trees!

Followed instructions to the letter for half the seeds and used RHS guide for the remainder but no sign of any germination with some seeds apparently rotted away.

I put the 40 seeds in the fridge for three weeks, then soaked them at room temp for two days, planted in small pots with a mix of potting compost, sand and vemiculite, left them on a sunny window sill indoors, watered carefully, hey presto! 12 little trees. Incredible % rate of germination. Excellent product, now going to sow the remaining 20.

I bought these half expecting them not do anything so only put few on and as of yet 3 have come up will be putting more on planting them all the way around where I live I’ll get the council scraping their heads where they come from

After a month in the fridge about 50% of the seeds germinated. I potted them on and a lot of them died but I think that was down to being too hasty potting them on. These five remain and I love them. Keeping them in the same pot for now to develop a root network. I will be ordering again to see how I fare after my first years trial and error.

Seeds arrived. Ask me in about 20 years for my opinion.
