I am probably your most frequent customer from the little market in Fishcamp California. I am a NP Ranger in the Mariposa Grove. I want so badly to grow some sequoia trees. It's tricky as hell. Maybe I water them too much. I realize you have a guarantee but I am sure that I am killing them somehow and that's not fair to you. I'll check and see if you sell in bulk, that might increase my chances. Thanks for the videos. Just ordered two small and one large sapling! This is an addiction!
Great job, we are from your future. 👽 The tree grew to almost 940 ft. After 2023, humans didn't fair so well. I can't say anymore, said too much already.
Thank you for posting this. I love the earthy philosophy that you employ. I saw this video within the seminar you did a few months and searched like crazy for this stand-alone video. I want to know that since you bypass fire, squirrel and chick-a-dee with seed collection in your process, how are the actual seeds harvested out of the pine cones? I am in Redding and my coastal redwood has been shedding cones for a few years now. My yard is loaded with them. But how to I get the accrual seeds out of the cones? The internet has not yielded answers.
We can ship all around the world, but live plant material (i.e., trees) are more difficult to export/import to some countries than others. Also, every species is a bit different, so each consignment is reviewed based on what trees/seeds are involved and exactly where it is going. For Mexico, I believe you would need a Mexican import permit and a phytosanitary certificate (we get the Phyto after an inspection at a cost of $65) to make it happen. The Import Permit would be your responsibility and I'm not sure how difficult or easy that is to obtain.
24 to 48 hours soaking in water just bag the seeds fill with water put in fridge then put on moist paper towel fold then put back in a bag poke holes for air flow and wait for 30 to 60 days the plant in soil that's it.
Is it possible to ship these to Canada, or would I need a phytosanitary certificate? If I need one it'd be too expensive I think. I would also be interested in buying sequoia and Joshua tree seeds, perhaps those wouldn't need a phytosanitary certificate for Canada?
We ship to Canada all the time. Yes, the Phytosanitary Certificate does add to the expense. It's $75. We have awesome grow kits for both Giant Sequoias and Joshua Trees, but don't typically sell bulk seed.
@@jonathanclaasen8774 Good to know, do the grow kits for those species need a phytosanitary certificate? I'd like to order some of those kits, but the extra 75$ would likely be too much.
I have bought like a few "edited: I meant Giant Sequoia" from you guys I live in Maryland is there any secret to make them stay alive? all of mine died within a year of getting them . I live in Maryland in the coastal plains which is mostly low elevation sandy and clay sols
You can do it...try again! If you have Coast Redwoods, the key is plenty of moisture, mistings, and filtered sunlight. If you have giant sequoias, full sunlight, NO mistings, and let the soil dry down really thoroughly between waterings. Also, take advantage of Jonsteen's 100% guarantee -- free replacements until you and the tree figure it out! Get in touch!
@@jonathanclaasen8774 so for coast redwood what would you recommend? I put them in the fridge right now so i have a good 20 days to figure it out🤞😅 you have any tips on once theyre out of the fridge? Some sort of rookie mistakes that can be avoided?
@@stefanfreestylez After giving the seeds time to "imbibe" in the fridge -- it's all about warmth to wake them up. You want the soil/seeds to remain moist while warming up to about 80°F. Usually a couple sunny days in an interior window sill does the trick. With the appropriate moisture and warmth, it's all Nature to see how many of your seeds will germinate. Usually, germination takes place within 3-5 days of when the conditions have all been met. If things are not all quite right, this "incubation" phase can take longer. Once the emergent seedlings sprout up -- it's a great practice to remove the top from the mini-greenhouse for ventilation, reduce the warmth level incrementally by relocating to somewhat cooler locations, and adopt a regimen of lightly misting your sprouts in the mornings, allowing them to dry off during the day (to avoid mold). As time passes, you can adjust conditions to more what the mature tree will be dealing with in its life in your location. After a week or several, transplant from the mini-greenhouse to an open air container, perhaps in a protected area initially, then to an outdoor location that will begin to experience the elements with less intervention on your part. Coast Redwoods like filtered sunlight, can be cold-hardy down to occasional dips below freezing, love mistings, and rely on deep waterings with time for the soil to dry down in between these deep drenchings. Good luck!
@@jonathanclaasen8774 I love growing these trees, I've been germinating them myself for around 4 years now. The one piece of advice I can give to anyone is that the more you do it, the more you learn and understand and the better you get. Do your research, be mindful and logical when raising the trees and that helps with survival rates a lot.. I usually have to give them away because I move around a lot, but one day I dream of having my own property where I can plant a grove of giant sequoia! :D
Planted 3 of your coast redwd in 3 gall pots at my ranch in San Diego mountains today. Very much enjoyed your video.Psalm 1:3.
Bought both a giant sequoia and coastal redwood from you, doing fine so far, and bought today japanese black pine. Thank you.

Buy seed.
Please check out Scenic Hill farm nursery their prices are great and I have bought over 50 trees from them that are all doing well
Beautifull! I have just planted a tiny 3cm giant sequioa seedling 3cm in my garden forest in Dalarna Sweden.
Great job, we are from your future. 👽 The tree grew to almost 940 ft. After 2023, humans didn't fair so well. I can't say anymore, said too much already.
Future generations that witness your trees will stare in awe.
this tree erased the carbon footprint of your whole family
good job!
Awsome video iv been looking for passionate people of the great Sequoia 👍
i started ( trying) my own Sequoia growing and i just love it ☑️
How are your sequoia doing a year on from your comment??
So excited to get my Incense Cedar seedling from you guys (via Wal-Mart) who knew?.
I'm obsessed with trees 💕
I'm obsessed with trees too haha! Glad there are people alike out there in the world :)
Thanks for sharing with us. Well, can we grow in tropical/subtropical region?
Why not? I grow Giant sequoia at home with led lamp. And this tree happy :)
Yes If they get enough wated
Nice video!! 👍🏻👍🏻🌲

You can use a toothpick and flick them out. We put the seed in potting soil and had almost 100% success. Just keep them wet
what is the name of that tube?

Can you ship sequoia trees that are around 2 foot tall to Ohio? and how much would it cost for around 6 trees plus shipping?
Beautiful! Do you ship to Mexico?
How many days stratification ?
24 to 48 hours soaking in water just bag the seeds fill with water put in fridge then put on moist paper towel fold then put back in a bag poke holes for air flow and wait for 30 to 60 days the plant in soil that's it.
Did you make cuttings?

i just bought one of these from you, but its dying. and i dont k wo why:(
yep same here I bought from several companies hey all arrive in perfect condition then they die, I am thinking they use some special fertilizer
