The first 16,5 years of two giant sequoias
2023: another year, another update. In 2006 we visited the Grant Village Visitor Center in Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park in California, USA. We bought some seeds of the the giant sequoia and back home in Holland; Europe, two feet below sea level, two little sequoias started to grow in December 2006. And now, June 2023 16,5 years later, in Holland two giant sequoia trees are growing (and since 2021 a little nephew).

Once upon a time a long, long time ago (12,5 years) in a place far, far away (in Holland; Europe), two feet below sea level, two little sequoias started to grow. And now, 12,5 years later, the sky is the limit……. The seeds were bought in 2006 in the Grant Village Visitor Center in Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park in California, USA. The music is Beethoven Symphony no. 5.

In 2006 we visited Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park in California, USA. In the Grant Grove Visitor Center we bought some Sequoia Gigantea seeds. Back in the Netherlands we planted those seeds in January 2007. Two little sequoias started to grow. These photos were taken during the first eleven years. Until April 2013 the trees grew at home in pots. In the spring of 2013 I donated the trees...

The biggest tree in the World is the Sequoia Gigantea. The world record holder is the General Sherman Tree located in the Giant Forest of Sequoia National Park in California, USA. By volume, it is the largest known living single stem tree on Earth. In 2006 our family visited Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park.

Thank you very much for making me dream with your video and work with those two wonderful young trees! I'm watching you from New Caledonia South Pacific. Is it possible to have picture of them of today?
what a great movie, kudos!!
Awesome!!! More updates please! 🎉
So awesome!!! What is the secret? I want to do that too but i live in a warm climate
We have a Gorgeous one, 5 years old and 8 ft now grown from General Sherman seed!
I did plant 5 Segovia trees. They are about 5 to 6 feet now, in Riverside California.
Love these documentaries of this growth cycle. Fantastic choice of music also, in all of them. Hope to see an update this year. Be well.
Thank you for sharing this. I live in California. I have always loved the Sequoia trees (coastal redwoods as well as the giant sequoias). I just started germinating some seeds I brought back from trip to see the Sequoias. I wish I had started this project 20 years ago, but better late than never. These trees will outlive us all and many generations after us. I hope to leave the world a better place than I found it. It’s these little acts of kindness that matter. One note I would like to make is that these giant sequoias have shallow roots and they grow better in groves. Plant other sequoias near them as the hold each other up by interweaving their roots. One of the main reasons of their death is just falling over. Thank you for sharing this beautiful journey.
I hope you planted these at least 75 meters apart.
if yea had it in the ground it woulda been much larger... id know ive got a mc'd's one
When’s 17.5 years dropping
🎶These trees have been growing for years, i can't discover which year any of them was born and i so sad that i can't see nothing that happened, I'm a young thing that exist in this collosal world that don't have young things. 🎶The short life 🧬 young we are Young beings who live in a giant grass tank of oxygen, we are too young for see this thing, we will die before we expect, we don't know how how these father trees was and will lost. Ahah me la dd nnee pilos me traz e se mi ocs ohe dis de los e myos bilos, es tre hub mas we thra for the ah no one will see thst thing. We lost the way, we are so small being in that world that ahahahahahahah: We pitos me cha je ke, ezo me ki we thra fhe galo me you he fhadiz. Me tree and too big to imagine I'm so young 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱, we are the hearts of plants, we are planting them, it allows we breath pure air!!!! We are so small in this world, ahh go me....... You are my friends plants (zeno bitho se med ha, aho me trha we ta he kama hole ma e he, xa hera la jeme pila amo nela ah) We are the heart of plants.
The fact that this video is older than me...
Could you upload your next video in 1080p instead of 480p?
but i love the fact that you showed the location, now n forever ppl will be able to go n visit the trees
I dk much about trees but i bet that the fact that he didn't untangle the root ball made the tree less efficient
I have 5mature oaks on my standard residential yard
zie dat verschil als ze eindelijk in de volle grond staan, groeien veel harder :D
Thank you.❤😮😊
When visiting the Okeefenokee Swamp in Georgia (USA) in the 1990's I picked up some bald cypress seeds and then planted them on the bank of my pond in South Florida. One is now at least 5 feet tall. This does not seem so remarkable except that all of the cypresses in my area are pond cypress which are much, much shorter at maturity. This one will be the giant of the neighborhood. It was an experiment on my part. I had learned that cypress seeds should be planted in soil that will be wet or damp for at least 3 months. I don't own that property any more but I visit the next door neighbor; you can count on me to peek over the fence to see how it's doing.
Congratulations on 1k subscribers 🎉🎉🎉
1:3 I like this music... remind me of tom and Jerry fighting when tom plays for the concert 🙂😂😂
🤔 So, 7 years to grow only 125cm in a little pot, and in the other 5 years it reached 475cm in nature. The lesson here is: never leave a tree in a pot for more than 1 year. Roots need space to grow healthy. Unless you want a cute bonsai 😆he he.

I live in the northern suburbs of Philadelphia, in Bucks county. One of my neighbors has an absolutely gorgeous enormous trees on one corner of his lot. One day I asked and he told me it was a sequoia (at least a hundred foot), that was planted 35 years before. Another 35 years and they’ll have to move the house.

Now look at what you've done. In a thousand years the low country will be covered with giant trees!
Well just a few more years to go...
These are the coordinates: 52°05'57.4"N 4°23'24.9"E There's also a streetview and they can be seen on it. One is just behind some green van. (commented on MAY 2024 - streetview from OCT 2022)
The deer came by and ate all the branches off. Some just died. Then we had the minus 30 degree and more Polar Vortex cold snap in BC Canada, which mostly wiped the rest out. A couple survived, which I will take to the Coast.
I don't know how I found this but glad I did. GROW TREE GROW!!
I've set a reminder to come back here in the year 2057. I will be 50 by then. Hi future me!
i want to be like you when I grow up. Just an old man and his plants. He's lived through enough to realize that patience is the only thing that matters. Without patience, we appreciate nothing. The best things are worth waiting for.
Kinda curious how strong it grows with 20% worm castings in its soil mix.
We have one several hundred feet high in our yard.
Seems like after the first 7 years, they really start to grow
Amazing! Hope it grows giant! ❤
Really shows the saying - the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, the second best time is now.
Can your future childrens keep taking photos until the year 5000?
Currently training my less than 2 year old giant sequoia how to be a tree in Ohio, USA.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Brilliant!
showing the location makes me worried someone will vandalize them
We live in Rio Nido California in a Giant Redwood Forest. I'm super proud of you WOW great work🤩
I cried
