Sequoia Sempervirens Adpressa

Post by George Nesfield »

Hi,
This is the latest photo of my Sequoia when the new seasons growth starts they have beautiful milky white tips to the branches, but to shape it they have to be trimmed off, but I must admit I leave them on for a few weeks before getting my sheep shearers out.
George.

Goodness sakes! Good thing it's only as tall as that ladder! Will it outgrow that ladder eventually? Just visited your site again. Wonderful and enjoyable! :D As always, thanks for sharing it! :D

Hi,
Yes it is this idiot on top of the ladder, but no it will not get any taller as I have taken the leader out and with prunning the top it stops any other leaders trying to take over.
