Botanical name:Sequoia sempervirens
This fast-growing, aromatic tree has soft, dark green foliage with long needles appearing in flat sprays and brown, barrel-shaped cones that appear after 1 year. Its soft, red-brown bark is fiberous and furrowed.
Particularly after mechanical damage, this tree will stump sprout to form new, young trees around the stump. Avoid planting in areas of high foot traffic. Redwoods require much more water in the hot eastern sections of the county.
An efficient watering system applies the right amount of water to the right parts of the garden at the right time. This conserves water and saves you money.
