🌲 Grow the World's Largest Tree from a Single Seed
Giant Sequoia, Sequoiadendron giganteum, also called the Sierra Redwood, is the most massive living tree on Earth. From a seed smaller than an oat flake rises a tree that can climb past 200 feet, with a trunk like a cathedral column. Young trees wear soft, bluish-green needles arranged in tight spirals, and mature trees carry reddish-brown, barrel-shaped cones two to three and a half inches long. Planting one is a quiet act of legacy: the tree you start today can outlive everyone who ever waters it.
These seeds carry American heritage in the truest sense. Giant Sequoia is native to the western slopes of California's Sierra Nevada, and these seeds are wild-harvested in the USA from that storied range, where the species has stood for thousands of years. You are planting a piece of living American history, freshly packed and ready for stratification. Every lot we ship receives the same germination testing and the same 100% money-back guarantee as everything we carry.
Before any lot reaches you, we test its germination rate and publish it openly. This lot tested at 22%, the kind of plain transparency we hold to on everything we carry. Giant Sequoia rewards patience and a proper cold stratification, so our larger 40 and 250 seed packs give you plenty of seedlings to nurture. Our full Giant Sequoia Growing Guide walks you through stratification, sowing depth, light, and watering step by step.
Building a conifer grove? Our Coastal Redwood seeds and Colorado Blue Spruce seeds pair beautifully with the giant sequoia.

Giant Sequoia Seed FAQs
How do I germinate giant sequoia seeds?
We recommend cold stratification first: place the seeds in a moist, well-draining medium and refrigerate them for 45 to 60 days. After chilling, sow them on a well-draining potting mix, barely covering each seed, and keep the tray in bright, indirect light at 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit with even moisture. Our full giant sequoia growing guide walks you through every step.
What does the 22% germination rate mean for how many seeds I should plant?
We test the germination rate of every lot and publish it openly, and this lot tested at 22%. Sowing a few extra seeds for each tree you hope to grow is a smart approach, which is why our 40 and 250 seed packs are popular with growers who want a healthy stand of seedlings. Every packet we ship carries the same germination testing and the same 100% money-back guarantee as everything we carry.
Where can I grow a giant sequoia, and how large will it get?
Giant sequoia is hardy in USDA zones 6 to 8 and loves full sun with deep, well-drained soil. It grows at a steady 13 to 24 inches per year and can reach 60 to 200 feet tall with a 25 to 35 foot spread, so choose an open site with room to grow away from buildings and power lines. Young trees take a pyramidal shape and grow more columnar with age.
Are these seeds grown in the USA?
Yes. Giant sequoia is native to California's Sierra Nevada, and these seeds are wild-harvested in the USA from that historic range. You are planting a piece of living American heritage, and every order is backed by the same promise as everything we carry. Our policy is simple: if you aren't happy, send it back and receive a full refund. Anytime, for any reason.
