Hard to believe my starter forest could become huge trees. Sequoiadendrum Gigantis. Their first winter is coming.
HArd to believe they survive in the wild to become mature trees.

is in about 30 years they will be poking their heads out above the trees where I plant them. And have people walk by and say, How the F did these get there???? Knowing that I won't be around to answer.

property we owned 20 years ago in Alaska. Next trip back will have to stop and see if they survived the elements and subsequent owners. Patience grasshopper.

I won't be around to see them in maturity.
Although they can get to 30 feet in 10 years.
