Thank you for the video, will be great to see another update in the future! I do a similar thing with my tree Sequoiadendron giganteum planting in Ukraine :) th-cam.com/channels/_uPSseHefFTHeiW9O5gTaA.htmlcommunity?lb=UgkxxWiwAUarEtEGVkUSxRvZYrQBrUVefY2u

Hazel and Beech make for lively mixed hedgerows

Alder grows like wild fire...nice Hazelnut shoots, they love brooks and ditch embankments. Great crop mucker.

My Beach (chestnutters) and Sycamore (moths wings) like my damp soiled propragator, that I keep under my bed in Winter. I put em' in the my south facing bedroom window ledge when it's Sunny. My White English Oak saplings love a bit of Jack's breath. Bloody Squirrels take my Walnuts (Elves brains) at the end of Autmn. Your Aspens looking healthy with Sheep's wool...lovely job.

Chicken wire in a triangular frame makes for a great sapling protector. Bloody Deer are a proper menace to my broadleafers..not too keen on them there Rowan and Sycamore.

Brilliant...I'm such a supporter in replanting back our native forests, woodlands and copses. That includes introducing North American Giant Redwoods ( they're thriving in our country)..proper jobber, well done mucker.

Hey mate where do you get your seeds from?

aqui no brasil tenho que deixar elas na sombra e dentro de casa por que no sol e fora de casa no quintal fica entre 29-36 graus

What was your successful germination rate out of the 250?

I read that as most redwoods in the UK are planted singularly or in rows, they are prone to storm damage once they get big?

Would bunya pines grow where u are? Ginkgo is another cool odd ancient tree worth trying

I think it does not matter how you plant the sprouted seeds or nuts the roots will always go down and leaves up once they are in

What a great dude!

I started planting bunya pines all over San Diego where I live. I grew them from seed and started putting them in the ground at the local parks and canyons once they were about 6 feet tall. After about 2-3 years gophers started appearing everywhere and got pretty much all of them. It was so aggravating and heartbreaking at the same time. They would go from being perfect to turning brown out of nowhere and at first I didn't understand why but then figured it out. Now I do the chicken wire basket which I hope doesn't cause root problems. I cannot get anymore bunyas and nurseries won't sell them so I will hopefully someday come across some viable cones and give it another shot.

Thank you for the video, will be great to see another update in the future I’m glad your trees are doing so well! I do a similar thing with my tree planting in both Australia and Canada :)

Aha that large Carrefour saved me - I'd began my 3rd GR10 excursion this July 24 with my faithful Salomons, to realise on my night train from Paris to Lourdes that they were my older Salomons & not my newer ones that served me superbly last year (slight mild panic ensued) - they (the older ones) then proceeded to fall apart during the latter stages of Bareges to Vielle-Aure :0. The Carrefour had some awesome Euros 45 boots that then took me all the way to Bagneres de Luchon with No Blisters..... happy days with cheap n cheerful replacement footwear! Just a little GR10 ditty for you chaps :)))). Great videos, great memories; thanks for sharing :)

The boys are back! Yay! I followed your first videos a couple of years back, which helped me immensely in my planning for my GR10. My 3rd journey in took me this year from Bageres to B-de-Luchon (I only had about a week sadly), so it looks like you've overtaken me on only your 2nd journey - I blame work! Last year I had to hole up in Cauterets for a couple of days to stem some sickness, but boy, that hike up to the campsite in front of Vignemale - WOW, and then over the pass.... WOW. So glad I didn't end my 2nd excursion by turning back; R&R at Cauteret did the trick. If you can, I'd recommend to return to do 18, 19 and 20 - Super :)

Nice ! I am also growing them. Also make videos :-)

Beautiful video thank you for the sharing 👍 👍

Good on you man !!

Ticks - oof! How much bother are they when hiking the Pyrenees? Did any of you get biten?

Cool,but next time try pure perlite to germinate...it will come out well👍

I love the Pyrenees and watching these is making me miss them right now. Been lucky enough to visit 4 times so far - all on a bike. 3 times riding on road and once off road. The off road was savagely hard (for me) but it was awesome to see a side of the area you do not from the roads..... this however is another level - beautiful! Well filmed! Those 2 lakes where you took the group photo at about 3:30 is that Lac de cap de Long? If so i am hoping to ride that area next year!

That Tourmalet valley up the side through the village of Viella is stunning! Been lucky enough to ride my off road bike up there a couple of times. Then on up to Pic du Midi - now that is hard on a bike! I would however highly recommend anyone walking the GR10 to take a divert up to pic du Midi observatory at 2876m as it would be an epic walk and on good gravel track - stunning views back down the Luz valley.

Jamax try to emulate atmosphere conditions - increase atmosphere pressure up to 2.3 - 3 and increase CO2 concentration and humidity and you can speed up growth like in Noah times before big flood

What about some Gingko, Wollemi and Araucaria’s?

They say that awe is good for us and I would agree. Some pretty far out awe moments here. You got the feet sorted and the Lanshan. Good going. Mark

nice vid bro. Maybe try getting them in the ground early to reduce transplant shock

Full happy view. I enjoyed the vibe throughout - great views and first pitch. Ha, you chose your time to arrive at the steep decline. A good descent mind you. Well, next one. Mark

Looking forward to seeing some updates on these guys. Incredible growth in such a short space of time. I tried growing some - only managed to get one to germinate then it died as I accidentally let the seed tray get flooded :( Wishing you more luck than I had!

Great video!

Respect mate. I started doing my own projects growing all sorts of trees for the past 4years I’ve only got 10 giant sequoias all officially Sprouted 21,3,21. Lost loads but the 10 I got are looking good about your sized ones. They ar going out this year can’t wait

Have you tried root pruning on any? Their roots seem to be so vigorous which tells me they might love some chopping off and starting fresh rather than the old channels.

Thats amazing!! It will grow into a great forest

I was just at trail of 100 giants, the forest surrounding the grove is burnt all the way . A control burn that became uncontrollable is what I hear, probably doesn’t help the govt is manipulating weather

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I've had the pleasure of seeing the General Sherman. Pictures don't do the size justice. It's incredible. It's like standing next to a giant building or something. Just massive. Also, I've been (many times) to a lesser known, but very interesting stand of Dawn Redoods, outside of Foresthill, California. The rare, 3rd type of redwood, and IMO, the most beautiful! They lose thier needles in the fall, need more water, and I would think would grow even better in the UK!

California Redwoods that are self sewing is a very good sign!

Hi from France! Thanks for making this video, it was fun to see several trees we also have here and have planted. Lots of sweet chestnuts and oaks around here, so we planted a few of those, of course. The sycamores spring up everywhere and I collected a bunch of seedlings from the playground (with my kid) where they had sprouted in a sandbox and weren't going to survive anyway Actually, I wasn't aware they were sycamores until I watched your video! I also have one giant redwood that sprouted in April so it's still very small, hopefully it will make it. Another one of my favourite trees is the catalpa, I have about 5 of those (3 in the ground, 2 still in pots). I also have 35 avocado seedlings and about 20 Washingtonia palm tree seedlings from this year but those are all tropical so I don't really expect them to survive the winters here.

Where around the world do the Giant Sequoias grow? Well, I can tell you, they are growing ...actually in many countries! There are arboretums and collections of trees around the world, in England, Germany, Spain, Austria, Switzerland, even Romania, where former members of nobility in the 1700's and the 1800's collected strange looking trees from around the world, as curiosities. There are Monkeypod, Araucarias, Dawn Redwood, and many others, also Sequoias having reached tremendous size in the meantime. There in Vienna, Austria I know of at least two places that have Redwood groves, planted not to preserve the species, but to be showpieces, and they are doing a great job in that sense. And, recently the Wollemia Pine, a rediscovered tree that was thought to be extinct millions of years ago, preserved only as fossils, was found alive and ..not well, but alive, and has since then been planted in many places around the world. I am happy to say that I feel that the movement of reforestation around the world is gaining momentum, still far outperformed, of course, by the destruction of forests. But we shall see!

Don't you need to cold stratify them?

Thanks for vidéo I also grow the giant séquoia I have 50 in a garden 😊

To all the people who waste their time protesting Climate Change.. they should each go plant 100 trees

Nice job great exciting work

I uses scissors to cut out seedlings from paper towel and gently transplant paper and seedling in a potting mix . This greatly reduces chance of root damage in transplant .

I tried planting trees in my neighborhood. I put them in inconspicuous spots and people still bothered them and broke the branches off. It’s so upsetting.

Would it hurt to cut around the seed and plant with the root attached to the paper towel?

Amazing that such gigantic trees grow from such small seeds.

Good man👍🏼

where do you get all the acorns from and when?
