Chasing seeds or seedlings of any Sequoia, Sequoiadendron, Metasequoia and Taxodium. Only small plants or seed, not chasing advanced stock.

hey if no one on here has any sequioa seeds trry searcing on ebay. i purchased some a few months ago fairly cheaply. havent had any luck with growing as yet.

John,
I too are looking for more seedlings of the sequoi. I live in Sydeny and can only find trees out at Orange (central NSW). So far I have two seedlings. I reponted the sequoi's last week & it has grown over 10cm,,,(I can see now that sequoia's are one of the quickest growing trees in the world) I too would be interested in finding more seedlings for the sequoia & Sequiadendron....
I like the fact that these trees are a bit different.

I have some Sequoia Gigantica seeds, bought a whole heap from a seed merchant and planted some out a couple of months ago, just starting to pop up now

Haven't had much luck with Ebay seeds so I just get them from a here now http://www.roystonpetrieseeds.com.au/order_detail.php, have to get heaps though.


Could do a seed swap if you have anything interesting otherwise if you send me a stamped self addressed envelope I will send some back

I have plenty of Metasequoia Sempervirens , Coastal Redwoods 2-3 year old seedlings 400mm high in 75mm pots .Can bare root for posting .P.M if interested , Cheers Alpineart

Hi Ozzy,
I took your advice & ordered from Royston seeds on Wednesday & they were delivered today. Sequioa Sempervirens 5 grams of seeds. They say on their website that there are approx. 295 seeds per gram & the smallest you can buy is 5 grams....so therefore I have a hell of a lot of seeds. I am going to put quite a few in punnets. I have some punnets that have 64 individual growing chambers....three or four of them & than maybe a large poly box where I will broadcast the seed, work on a survival of the fittest scenario....then group plantings!
I guess my fellow students at the School of Bonsai might be lucky and may well receive extras as well.

Quick question though, should I place in seeds in a fridge for nine weeks now; or just plant them directly into seeding trays?

Anyone?

Cheers
Ripley

The seeds have already been in cold storage at Roystons so you could plant out now, or do what I did and plant some now and put some in the fridge for a while and plant later if the first lot don't take off.

Oh yeah I forgot to add be patient because they could take months to sprout also.
